Is it a problem if the clutch pedal doesn't spring back after being depressed?
1 Answers
Yes, it is a problem. The inability of the clutch pedal to spring back indicates a vehicle malfunction. The specific reasons why the clutch pedal doesn't spring back after being depressed are as follows: 1. Air has entered the clutch pipeline system, causing excessive clutch travel and poor return: This is mostly due to air entering the hydraulic system. In this case, the cause of the air entry should be identified as soon as possible, and the air in the hydraulic system should be expelled. 2. The clutch fluid is dirty and contains impurities: This causes severe wear of the internal piston of the clutch master cylinder or blockage of the oil return hole, preventing the clutch from returning. 3. Insufficient spring tension: As the vehicle mileage increases, the clutch return spring may lose tension or break, causing the clutch pedal not to return. The symptom of this fault is a lowered clutch pedal height and reduced or no free play.
