You can make minor adjustments by regulating the clutch control part or replace related components. Generally, the service life of the "clutch three-piece set" is similar, so it's best to replace all of them during replacement. More relevant information is as follows: 1. The issue of a car clutch being too heavy must lie in the clutch cable. It's not caused by being too soft; wear of the pressure plate can also lead to heaviness. Often, a clutch being too heavy is a problem with the "clutch three-piece set." Since the service life of the "clutch three-piece set" is generally similar, it's advisable to replace all components during replacement. For mechanical clutches, focus on checking the clutch cable and the clutch pressure plate. A faulty clutch cable not only makes the clutch feel heavy but can also produce abnormal noises. Prolonged use of the clutch pressure plate may also lead to metal fatigue, making the clutch feel excessively heavy and hard to press. 2. The height of a mechanical clutch is adjustable. If the clutch is too heavy, you can try lowering the clutch slightly and then test the feel. The most thorough solution is to replace the clutch cable with a hydraulic transmission system. This involves using a foot pedal to drive a master cylinder, installing a slave cylinder at the original screw position where the clutch cable was fixed under the crossbeam, connecting the two with a hard pipe. The slave cylinder then pulls the original clutch lever arm through a short steel cable, creating a quasi-hydraulic clutch (in a true hydraulic clutch system, the slave cylinder directly drives the pressure plate).
