What are the reasons for abnormal noise when stepping on the clutch pedal of the Hongguang S?
2 Answers
Hongguang S stepping on the clutch pedal has abnormal noise for the following reasons: Bearing issue: If the bearing is damaged, the noise will still exist when the clutch is pressed. However, after the power is cut off, there is no load, and the noise will decrease. Load issue: Similarly, tooth surface pitting will also cause noise. Without load, after the power is cut off, the speed of the first shaft will decrease, and the noise will gradually reduce. Gear sleeve wear: The scraping between the synchronizer gear sleeve and the engagement gear. Due to wear in the shift fork during use, after a certain amount of wear, the gear sleeve may not be in the center position, leading to possible scraping. After the clutch is pressed, the noise will also gradually decrease.
There could be several reasons for abnormal noises when pressing the clutch. A worn release bearing is a common culprit—when the pedal is depressed, the bearing bears pressure and tends to squeak after wear. Alternatively, a deformed clutch disc or broken central spring can cause uneven movement. Issues with the pedal mechanism itself, such as rusted hinges or lack of lubrication, may also produce creaking sounds. Loose mounting bolts or even hydraulic fluid leaks (if it's a hydraulic type) can trigger noises. Having driven manual transmission cars for years, I've encountered similar issues. Minor noises shouldn't be ignored, as they can escalate into major problems, like clutch slippage leading to poor acceleration. It's best to have a professional shop check it out promptly—don't wait until an accident happens to regret it.
