What Causes the Clutch Pedal to Feel Stiff and Rough When Lifting?
1 Answers
There are several main reasons why the clutch pedal feels stiff and rough when lifting: 1. Dirty or rusted linkage mechanisms: Prolonged use leads to severe wear, insufficient lubrication, and excessive resistance. Remove the clutch assembly for cleaning and maintenance (replace parts as needed), lubricate, and adjust the clearance to standard specifications. 2. Clogged hydraulic lines: The hydraulic oil in the clutch master and slave cylinders, as well as the pipelines, is dirty, or the rubber cups, seals have deteriorated, or the oil passages are blocked. Disassemble the clutch master and slave cylinders along with the pipelines, thoroughly clean them with alcohol, blow them clean with high-pressure air (especially the pipelines), replace the rubber cups and seals in the master and slave cylinders, bleed the air, and adjust the clearance according to regulations.
