What is the reason for the clutch of Haval H6 manual transmission not springing back?
4 Answers
The reasons for the clutch of Haval H6 manual transmission not springing back are as follows: 1. Clutch pedal: The clutch pedal travel is too large. Adjust the clutch pedal travel. If there is air in the clutch fluid, it will cause the clutch not to return. Replace the clutch fluid and bleed the air from the clutch fluid line. 2. Return spring failure: With the increase in service life, the return spring may experience issues such as weakened elasticity or failure. The symptom is that there is no pressure when the clutch is depressed. In this case, the clutch pedal not returning is not a sudden occurrence but a gradual process. Replace the return spring. 3. Clutch fluid pump return oil hole blockage: This situation is mostly caused by the poor quality of the clutch fluid itself, with too many impurities leading to blockage. The diagnostic method is to open the engine hood and check the color of the fluid in the clutch fluid reservoir. The solution is to clean the clutch fluid pump return oil hole and replace the clutch fluid.
I've also encountered the issue of the Haval H6 manual transmission clutch not springing back. Last time I drove a friend's car, I experienced the same problem—stepping on the pedal felt soft with no rebound, and I almost thought the gearbox was done for. Common causes include leakage in the clutch master or slave cylinder, where insufficient hydraulic fluid leads to low pressure. It could also be a broken return spring under the pedal; if that breaks, the pedal just won't come back up. Another possibility is the aging of the rubber seal in the clutch slave cylinder, especially in older cars that have been driven for seven or eight years. The most troublesome scenario is a seized piston inside the clutch master cylinder, which would require a complete replacement. I recommend first checking the brake fluid reservoir level—if it's below the 'min' mark, top it up and see if that helps. If not, you should head to a repair shop immediately, as driving with this issue makes shifting gears extremely difficult.
A clutch pedal that doesn't spring back is indeed quite annoying, and I've experienced this issue with my own manual transmission car. This situation is mostly related to the hydraulic system. First, check if there's enough fluid in the clutch fluid reservoir - sometimes it's just low on fluid. If the fluid level is sufficient but the problem persists, it's likely due to leakage in the master cylinder or slave cylinder, and you'll need to lift the car to inspect the hydraulic lines for leaks. Another common issue is a broken return spring - if that small spring breaks, the pedal becomes useless. There's also a less common possibility where the clutch release fork gets stuck on the release bearing, though this does happen occasionally. If you encounter this problem, avoid driving the car forcefully. A clutch that doesn't return properly will accelerate wear on the clutch kit, and you might end up spending several thousand to replace the entire clutch system.
I've repaired several clutch issues on the Haval H6. The most common problem is leakage from the clutch slave cylinder, which becomes particularly noticeable during rainy days. If the hydraulic fluid is insufficient, the clutch won't disengage properly, so first check the fluid level in the reservoir. Another issue could be with the pedal mechanism—check if the spring is broken or if the pedal shaft is sticking due to lack of lubrication. A damaged master cylinder seal can also cause this, which requires disassembly for inspection. I recommend first trying to top up with DOT4 brake fluid. If the problem recurs after a couple of days, there's definitely a leak somewhere. If left unrepaired, this issue can lead to clutch disc burnout, which would be a much bigger loss.
