What are the consequences of a broken clutch fork?
1 Answers
Clutch fork failure can lead to difficulty or inability to engage gears in the transmission, requiring timely inspection and replacement to avoid affecting normal vehicle operation. Additional details are as follows: 1. Symptoms: Bent or deformed fork; cracked or fractured fork; damaged fork pin; detachment of fork from shift rail. Common damage patterns include enlarged shift head grooves, thinning or grooving of the lower fork face, and bending/twisting of the fork body. 2. Function: A transmission component connected to the gearshift lever (located at its lower end) that engages intermediate gears to alter input/output speed ratios.
