What Causes the Clutch Pedal of a Heavy Truck to Become Hard to Press?
1 Answers
This may be due to an issue with the clutch pressure plate or a stuck return spring. Below is relevant information: 1. When this situation occurs, immediate repair is necessary. Otherwise, if the clutch pedal cannot be pressed, gear shifting becomes impossible, rendering normal driving unfeasible. The clutch is a component of the vehicle's transmission system, installed between the car's engine and the gearbox. Pressing the clutch pedal disengages the clutch, while releasing it engages the clutch. 2. The clutch is mounted on the engine flywheel, with the clutch pressure plate fixed to the flywheel. Between the pressure plate and the flywheel lies the clutch friction disc. The friction disc has splines in the center that secure a drive shaft, which serves as the gearbox's power input shaft.
