What Causes Sudden Clutch Failure in Baojun 560?
2 Answers
Baojun 560 sudden clutch failure reasons are as follows: Lack of lubrication in the actuating mechanism: Due to insufficient lubrication in the clutch system's operating mechanism, the clutch stroke is too small, resulting in abnormal clutch return. Check the transmission: If abnormal noise persists after lubrication, it may indicate a transmission malfunction, requiring a thorough inspection and possible repair. Excessive wear: Excessive wear of the clutch can cause the release bearing to rotate at high speeds continuously when the clutch is depressed, reducing the bearing's lifespan. Pressure plate spring breakage: Severe noise when depressing the clutch pedal may be caused by a broken pressure plate spring.
A few days ago I encountered a similar situation. The clutch of my Baojun 560 suddenly failed on the highway, causing the car to jerk abruptly, which was quite frightening. There are usually several common causes for this kind of problem. It could be clutch plate wear leading to slippage and failure, since plates thin out over time with use. Or it might be hydraulic fluid leakage causing loss of system pressure. Another possibility is a damaged release bearing getting stuck. I've noticed these issues often occur after prolonged driving in congested areas, as frequent clutch use accelerates wear. Once failure occurs, I recommend stopping immediately - pull over safely with hazard lights on, as continuing to drive may damage the transmission, leading to costlier repairs. Safety first - contact professional mechanics or arrange towing for thorough inspection to prevent minor issues becoming major accidents. Regular checks of shift smoothness and fluid levels can help prevent such problems.
