What Causes the Clunk Sound When Releasing the Clutch?
1 Answers
Reasons for abnormal noise when releasing the clutch: The clutch is lifted too quickly, causing the release bearing to return too fast and produce a collision sound. It is recommended to press the clutch quickly but release it slowly while driving to avoid this noise. Below are the maintenance and care tips for the clutch: Checking the fluid level in the clutch reservoir: Inspect the level of clutch fluid (brake fluid) in the clutch reservoir (usually shared with the brake fluid reservoir). If it is below the "MIN" mark, top it up and further check the clutch hydraulic control mechanism for any leaks. If clutch fluid spills onto painted surfaces, rinse immediately with water; otherwise, the fluid may damage the paint. Checking for leaks in the clutch hydraulic control mechanism: Key areas to inspect: master cylinder and tubing, slave cylinder and tubing, and seals. Method: Wear white gloves and touch the inspection points to check for oil traces. If found, proceed with repairs.
