What's the reason for not being able to shift gears when stepping on the clutch?
1 Answers
Here are the reasons for not being able to shift gears when stepping on the clutch: 1. Foreign objects: If the clutch is fully depressed but the gear cannot be engaged, there may be foreign objects inside the clutch, causing improper adjustment of the booster push rod's travel. 2. Air in the oil circuit: The presence of air in the clutch's oil circuit can lead to incomplete separation of the clutch disc. Below are extended explanations of related content: 1. Clutch: The clutch is located within the flywheel housing between the engine and the transmission. The clutch assembly is secured to the rear plane of the flywheel with screws, and the output shaft of the clutch is the input shaft of the transmission. 2. Function: The clutch's role is to allow a gradual connection between the engine and the transmission, ensuring a smooth start for the vehicle. It temporarily disconnects the link between the engine and the transmission to facilitate gear shifting and reduce impact during shifts. During emergency braking, it acts to separate, preventing overload in the transmission and other drivetrain components, thereby providing a certain level of protection.
