What to Do When the Clutch Pedal is Hard to Press?
1 Answers
First, press the clutch pedal several times while the car is running to see if there's any improvement in gear shifting. If there is improvement, it indicates air in the clutch hydraulic system. Bleed the air and try again. If the hydraulic fluid level is sufficient, check around the clutch master cylinder and slave cylinder for any signs of oil leakage. If leakage is found, replace the leaking slave cylinder or master cylinder. The clutch disc needs replacement as it wears out over time. Replacing the clutch disc requires separating the engine from the transmission.
