What is Clutch Free Play?
1 Answers
Clutch free play refers to the distance when the clutch pedal is not depressed to the point of engagement or disengagement. 1. During the disengagement process: When the clutch pedal is depressed, the free play is first eliminated within the free travel, then the separation gap is created within the working travel, causing the clutch to disengage. 2. During the engagement process: As the clutch pedal is gradually released, the pressure plate moves forward under the force of the pressure spring, first eliminating the separation gap and applying sufficient pressure on the working surfaces of the pressure plate, driven plate, and flywheel. Subsequently, the release bearing moves backward under the force of the return spring, creating free play, and the clutch engages.
