What Causes Stiffness and Abnormal Noise in the Clutch?
1 Answers
Clutch stiffness and abnormal noise can be caused by the following reasons: Broken Spring: If the clutch pressure plate spring is broken or the clutch pressure plate release lever is fractured, it can lead to abnormal noise and stiffness during operation. Loose Rivets: Broken clutch friction plate springs or loose rivets on the clutch friction plate can also cause this issue. Additionally, a broken release lever screw may be the culprit, and replacing the damaged parts can resolve the fault. Worn Pressure Plate: Early wear due to prolonged contact between the clutch release bearing and the clutch pressure plate can result in abnormal noise. Lack of Lubrication or Damage to Release Bearing: Insufficient lubrication or damage to the clutch release bearing can also cause abnormal noise in the clutch.
