What are the consequences of not changing the clutch fluid for a long time?
1 Answers
Clutch fluid is actually brake fluid. If it is not replaced for a long time, it will reduce braking force, causing air resistance in the brake lines, which affects braking performance. Additionally, it may corrode the brake lines, leading to damage to the internal valves of the anti-lock braking hydraulic assembly, severely impacting the transmission response of the brake system. Furthermore, prolonged use of brake fluid can cause wear to the rubber cups and pistons in the brake pump, resulting in cloudy brake fluid. Here is some related information: 1. Replacement cycle: Normally, the replacement cycle for brake fluid is every 2 years or 40,000 kilometers. However, in actual use, it is necessary to conduct regular checks based on the actual usage environment to see if the brake fluid has oxidized or deteriorated. 2. Symptoms of insufficient clutch fluid: Symptoms of insufficient clutch fluid include the clutch pedal feeling softer than before and the clutch failing to work properly. In most cases, it affects the complete separation of the clutch plate after pressing the clutch pedal. In manual transmission vehicles, the connection between the engine and transmission power mainly relies on the clutch plate, and controlling the clutch pedal essentially controls the disengagement and engagement of the clutch plate.
