Why does the JAC Refine S3 clutch make a creaking sound when fully depressed?

[DelReid]

JAC Refine S3 clutch making abnormal noise when fully depressed may be caused by clutch disc failure or reaching wear limit, insufficient pressure plate spring force, transmission input shaft bearing failure, or release bearing malfunction. Introduction to JAC Refine S3: 1. Interior: Features red stitching and a horizontal silver trim across the dashboard for a sporty texture. The instrument cluster adopts a dual-barrel design with clear driving information display and adjustable brightness. 2. Configuration: Equipped with a large central display screen for easy identification and operation while driving, speakers creating surround sound effects, and integrated GPS navigation.

I've been driving my JAC Refine S3 for several years, and recently there's always a creaking sound when I fully depress the clutch pedal. At first, I thought it was a minor issue, but after checking myself, I found it might be caused by lack of lubrication at the pedal connection points or aging/rusting springs. Prolonged driving causes repeated pedal movement, where dust accumulation at the joints can create friction noises, not only affecting driving comfort but also potentially increasing wear and risking pedal failure. I suggest first trying automotive-specific lubricant spray on the hinges and linkages – if the noise disappears, it's a minor issue. If it persists, check whether the clutch master or slave cylinder is leaking, and consult a professional mechanic to replace components if necessary to prevent major failures. Don't ignore it to avoid being stranded due to breakdowns.

I often encounter this issue in fleet management. A squeaking sound when the clutch is fully depressed is mostly caused by a stuck pedal mechanism or a loose spring. Check the source of the sound. If it only occurs at the moment of pressing, it might be due to wear on the pedal rod pin or a damaged rubber sleeve that needs replacement. I've seen similar cases where ignoring it led to the entire pedal rod breaking, affecting gear-shifting safety. It's recommended to first clean and lubricate the contact points. If that doesn't work, take it to a repair shop to rule out a faulty release bearing. Also, develop a habit of regular clutch maintenance to extend its lifespan and avoid unexpected expenses.

As a mechanical enthusiast, clutch squeaking is usually caused by a lack of lubrication at the pedal joints or component wear. For a simple DIY fix, open the engine compartment to inspect the pedal connection points, clean them, and apply some professional lubricating grease. If the noise disappears, it's much more convenient. If the squeaking persists, it indicates internal issues such as the clutch pressure plate or flywheel, requiring timely inspection to prevent safety hazards and rising repair costs. Regularly monitoring the pedal condition is crucial.
