How to Solve the Heavy Clutch Problem in Jetta?

[LaAmara]

There are 4 possible solutions for a heavy clutch in Jetta: 1. Check if the clutch pedal and release bearing return to their normal positions. If they do, proceed with further checks. 2. Check if the mounting bolts of the engine bracket, transmission, flywheel, and flywheel housing are loose. Tighten them if necessary; otherwise, continue checking. 3. Check if the inner ends of the release levers are on the same plane. If they are, proceed with further checks. 4. Check if the pressure plate and driven plate are deformed, if the rivets are loose or exposed, and if the pressure spring force is outside the allowable range. Replace or repair if necessary. Additional Information: Shudder during take-off can be considered from the perspective of uneven clutch engagement during the starting process. That is, the engine rotates uniformly, but uneven clutch engagement causes the driven part of the clutch to rotate unevenly, resulting in vibration of the clutch and even the entire vehicle.
