What Causes the Abnormal Noise When Pressing the Clutch?
1 Answers
Automobile clutch is a mechanism that disconnects and connects the power between the engine and the transmission. When the clutch pedal is pressed, the force applied to the pedal pushes the clutch fork to move the release bearing through lever action. If there is noise when pressing the clutch, the specific cause can only be determined by the particular sound. The details are as follows: 1. Generally, there are two situations that cause abnormal noise in the clutch, mostly due to incorrect operation by the driver. Many drivers have the habit of pressing the clutch and keeping their foot on the clutch pedal even after shifting gears. Maintaining this habit for a long time can cause damage to the clutch, and the clutch plate will wear out. Such abnormal noise is mostly from the clutch release bearing. 2. When the clutch pedal is pressed, a distinct abnormal noise can be heard from the clutch area, which becomes more obvious when the pedal is released. The main reasons for this situation are: the clutch pressure plate spring is broken or the release bearing is loose; the clutch steel plate is cracked; the clutch release lever is broken, excessively worn, or the release lever adjustment bolt is broken. Mostly, it is a quality issue with the clutch release bearing. This situation reminds the owner to repair it in time.
