How to Adjust Clutch Height?
1 Answers
Mechanical clutches primarily adjust their operation through the clutch cable, so simply adjusting the length of the clutch cable can modify the free travel and working travel of the clutch pedal. Hydraulic clutches cannot be adjusted; the only way to restore clutch height is by replacing the clutch friction disc. Reasons why the clutch becomes higher with use: Clutch disc wear: Manual transmissions use friction for power transmission, with the clutch disc serving as the friction medium. Over time, the clutch disc wears down and becomes thinner, leading to an increased working travel of the clutch and a higher engagement point. Excessive looseness in the clutch cable: For vehicles equipped with mechanical clutches, an overly long clutch cable results in excessive free travel and reduced working travel, causing the clutch engagement point to rise noticeably. Severe wear of the friction disc release fork: After the release fork wears out, the pedal will automatically rise a certain amount. However, the clutch disc still cannot fully engage with the friction disc, requiring the driver to lift the clutch higher for complete engagement.
