What Causes Clutch Shaking?

[Malia]

The causes and solutions for clutch shaking are as follows: 1. Uneven pressure distribution between the driving and driven discs. If the clutch pressure springs have uneven elasticity, the release levers are inconsistently adjusted, or the diaphragm spring fingers are uneven, the pressure application timing will vary, leading to uneven force on the pressure plate and even tilting. This results in poor contact between the driving and driven discs, causing clutch shaking. Solution: Replace the clutch pressure springs and level the release levers. 2. Clutch torsion, weakened damping springs, weakened clutch pressure springs, or cracks in the diaphragm spring can all cause shaking during clutch engagement. Solution: Replace the springs. 3. Poor contact of the clutch lining or hardened surfaces with adhesive deposits can easily cause clutch shaking. Solution: Re-rivet the clutch lining. 4. Warping, tilting, or deformation of the driven disc leads to irregular contact during clutch engagement, preventing smooth pressure increase. Solution: Correct or replace the driven disc. 5. Locked or loose clutch control mechanisms, severe wear of the clutch splined hub, or bending of the transmission input shaft can also cause clutch shaking. Solution: Replace the corresponding parts. 6. Loose engine mounts or misalignment between the transmission input shaft and the engine crankshaft centerline can cause clutch shaking. Solution: Tighten the engine mounts or replace the parts. 7. Broken or loose rivets on the driven disc hub, fractures in the driven disc steel plate, or unbalanced rotating components can also lead to clutch shaking. Solution: Replace the parts or re-rivet the driven disc hub.
