What Causes a Spongy Clutch?
1 Answers
Clutch sponginess is caused by air entering the clutch pump or insufficient clutch fluid. Here is additional information: 1. Overview: The clutch is located in the flywheel housing between the engine and the transmission. The clutch assembly is secured to the rear plane of the flywheel with screws, and the output shaft of the clutch is the input shaft of the transmission. 2. Function: While driving, the driver can press or release the clutch pedal as needed to temporarily disconnect or gradually engage the engine and transmission, thereby cutting off or transmitting power from the engine to the transmission. The clutch is a common component in mechanical transmissions, allowing the drivetrain to be disconnected or engaged at any time. Its basic requirements include smooth engagement, quick and thorough disengagement, ease of adjustment and repair, compact size, light weight, good wear resistance, sufficient heat dissipation capacity, and easy and effortless operation. Common types include jaw clutches and friction clutches.
