What are the solutions for a heavy clutch pedal?
1 Answers
Clutch pedal feeling heavy can be resolved by adding lubricant or replacing the clutch. The functions of the clutch are: 1. Ensuring smooth vehicle starting; 2. Ensuring smooth gear shifting in the transmission system and preventing transmission overload. Clutches are categorized into electromagnetic clutches, magnetic particle clutches, friction clutches, and hydraulic clutches. The clutch is a common component in mechanical transmission, and its working principle involves the engine's torque being transmitted to the driven plate through the friction between the flywheel, pressure plate, and the driven plate's contact surface. When the driver presses the clutch pedal, the diaphragm spring's large end moves the pressure plate backward through mechanical transmission, causing the driven part to separate from the driving part.
