What Causes a Heavy Clutch?
1 Answers
The reasons for a heavy clutch: 1. The clutch is too high, check if the clutch disc is burnt; 2. The master cylinder model does not match the original vehicle; 3. The clutch is too low or does not disengage properly; 4. Air in the hydraulic line, deformed fork or deformed/welded-off fork shaft; 5. Clutch cable failure; 6. The clutch pressure plate has been used for too long; 7. No clearance in the master cylinder pushrod, or internal contamination requiring master cylinder cleaning. The automotive clutch is located inside the flywheel housing between the engine and the transmission. The clutch assembly is bolted to the rear plane of the flywheel, with its output shaft serving as the transmission's input shaft. While driving, the driver can depress or release the clutch pedal as needed to temporarily disconnect or gradually engage the engine and transmission, thereby cutting off or transmitting the engine's power to the transmission.
