What is the reason for the clutch feeling too light with no feedback?
2 Answers
The reasons for the clutch feeling too light with no feedback are: 1. Faulty release bearing: Both the release bearing and clutch disc are wear components. When the vehicle's clutch disc is severely worn, the condition of the release bearing will also be affected; 2. Broken clutch cable: The main function of the clutch cable is to transmit the pressure applied by the driver on the clutch pedal to the pressure plate. If the clutch cable breaks, the clutch cannot engage. The clutch is located in the flywheel housing between the engine and transmission, with the clutch assembly fixed to the rear plane of the flywheel by screws. The output shaft of the clutch is the input shaft of the transmission.
I've been driving manual transmission cars for over a decade and have encountered the clutch suddenly becoming lighter several times. The most common reason is low clutch fluid. Check the clutch fluid reservoir next to the brake fluid container - if the level is below the MIN line, it needs topping up. If there's no shortage of fluid, it's likely a leak in the clutch master or slave cylinder (you can feel for wet traces under the pedal yourself). Air entering the hydraulic system can also make the pedal feel soft, requiring professional bleeding. For older cable-operated cars, it might be the cable core about to snap. Once my car drove like this for two days before getting stuck on the road unable to shift gears, so don't take it lightly - get to a repair shop immediately as clutch issues significantly impact safety.
