What is the free travel of the clutch pedal?
1 Answers
Clutch pedal free travel refers to the gap between the inner end of the clutch diaphragm spring and the release bearing as reflected on the pedal. Here is more information about clutch pedal free travel: 1. Why there is free travel: The most easily damaged component of the clutch is the release bearing. To prevent or reduce unnecessary damage to the clutch release bearing, a clutch free travel is set to avoid or minimize damage to the release bearing. 2. Simple explanation of free travel: When the driver first steps on the clutch, pressing it slightly has no effect. Only when pressing further down does it start to engage. This initial ineffective part is the free travel.
