Is a Broken Clutch Spring a Serious Issue?
1 Answers
A broken clutch spring has significant impacts. Here are the relevant details: 1. Possible symptoms: Clutch shuddering. When starting the vehicle, even with careful gradual acceleration and slow release of the clutch pedal, the vehicle fails to start smoothly and exhibits jerking movements. This occurs because the clutch engagement is shaky and unstable, leading to unsteady vehicle starts. 2. Causes: (1) Improper adjustment or deformation of the release levers, resulting in uneven contact between the three release levers and the release bearing. (2) The damping springs on the clutch driven plate are too weak or broken, failing to provide adequate vibration damping. (3) Wear or lack of lubrication in the release bearing housing, causing restricted movement.
