Why does the clutch make a squeaking noise when pressed down?

[SanPaisley]

Clutch makes a squeaking noise when pressed down because the pressure plate spring of the vehicle's clutch disc is damaged or the release bearing is loose, which requires inspection and replacement to resolve. If this issue is not repaired, the vehicle is very likely to experience difficulty in shifting gears, hindering the normal operation of the motor vehicle. The following is an introduction to the clutch: 1. The clutch is located inside the flywheel housing between the engine and the transmission. The clutch assembly is fixed to the rear plane of the flywheel with screws, and the output shaft of the clutch is the input shaft of the transmission. 2. During vehicle operation, the driver can press or release the clutch pedal as needed to temporarily separate or gradually engage the engine with the transmission, thereby cutting off or transmitting the power from the engine to the transmission. 3. The clutch is a common component in mechanical transmissions, allowing the transmission system to be separated or engaged at any time.
