What Causes Vibration in the Accelerator Pedal?
1 Answers
The reasons for vibration in the accelerator pedal are: 1. Resonance caused by the engine is transmitted to the accelerator pedal through the vehicle body, resulting in a trembling sensation when the foot is placed on the pedal, which is a normal phenomenon; 2. Clutch slippage can also cause vibration in the accelerator pedal. In manual transmission and dual-clutch models, the power transfer and disconnection between the engine and the transmission are accomplished by friction plate clutches. If the clutch plates are severely worn and slipping or the damping springs are broken, it will cause the accelerator pedal to vibrate; 3. Every engine is mounted on the frame using hydraulic or rubber engine mounts. If the engine mounts leak oil or become aged and broken, their damping effect will significantly decrease, which can also lead to vibration in the accelerator pedal.
