Why does the clutch make a clunking sound when pressed down?
1 Answers
It is likely due to a broken clutch pressure plate spring or a loose release bearing; fractured clutch disc; broken, excessively worn, or misadjusted clutch release lever. Most commonly, it indicates quality issues with the clutch release bearing. This situation strongly reminds the car owner to seek immediate repairs. There are two symptoms of incomplete clutch disengagement: 1. During starting: When starting the car, pressing the clutch pedal beyond its free travel still makes gear shifting difficult. If forced into gear, the car may move forward or backward before fully releasing the clutch pedal, causing the engine to stall. 2. While driving: Difficulty in shifting gears or inability to engage gears, accompanied by gear collision noises inside the transmission.
