What's the reason for the squeaking sound when lifting the clutch to the semi-linked position?
2 Answers
The reasons for the squeaking sound when lifting the clutch to the semi-linked position are: 1. The release bearing is lacking oil and making noise; 2. The release bearing is damaged and making noise; 3. The clearance between the intermediate pressure plate and the drive pins in a dual-disc clutch is too large; 4. The clearance between the driven plate hub key teeth and the shaft key teeth is too large; 5. The driven plate hub rivets are loose. The solutions for the squeaking sound when lifting the clutch to the semi-linked position are: 1. Slightly depress the clutch pedal, allowing the diaphragm spring to contact the release bearing. If a rustling sound is heard, it indicates noise from the release bearing. If the noise persists after lubrication, it means the bearing is worn, loose, or damaged and should be replaced; 2. Replace the pedal spring.
Does your car make a squeaking sound when you lift the clutch to the semi-engagement point? This is most likely a problem with the clutch system. When the clutch friction disc is worn, it will make abnormal noises when it comes into contact with the pressure plate at the semi-engagement position, just like sandpaper rubbing. It could also be that the release bearing is dry or damaged. It has to withstand high temperatures during operation, and insufficient lubrication can easily cause squeaking. Uneven surfaces on the pressure plate and flywheel can also cause noise. I recommend checking and replacing it as soon as possible. If you delay for too long, it might burn out the entire clutch assembly, and the repair cost will be much higher then. When driving normally, avoid frequent hill starts or prolonged semi-engagement to reduce wear. Take it to a professional shop for inspection—the mechanic can locate the problem by listening with a diagnostic tool. Don’t try to fix it yourself and risk making it worse.
