Why doesn't the car clutch spring back?
2 Answers
Car clutch not springing back is caused by a problem with the return spring of the clutch. Here is an extended introduction to the clutch: 1. The clutch is part of the car's transmission system, fixed between the engine and the gearbox. It can disconnect or connect the engine to the gearbox. When the driver presses the clutch pedal, the clutch disengages, and when the pedal is released, the clutch engages. 2. The clutch pressure plate is fixed to the engine flywheel, with the clutch disc located between the pressure plate and the flywheel. 3. The clutch disc has a spline that can secure a drive shaft, which is the power input shaft of the gearbox. 4. The clutch disc is a wear-and-tear component that needs regular replacement. As the car's mileage increases, the clutch disc will wear out. When it wears to a certain extent, it needs to be replaced. If not replaced, the clutch disc may slip, preventing the engine's power from being fully transmitted to the gearbox, leading to insufficient power in the car. 5. To replace the clutch disc, the connection between the gearbox and the engine must be disassembled, and the entire gearbox must be removed from the car.
Oh, I've also experienced the frustrating issue of the clutch not returning before, and it was really stressful. It might be that the clutch master cylinder is broken, with oil seal leakage causing insufficient pressure, making the pedal feel like it's stuck in mud. Or perhaps the spring is broken—that little thing is responsible for the return. If air gets into the hydraulic system, it's also a big problem, making the pedal feel too light. A more common issue is the connecting rod rusting and getting stuck. Never delay fixing it—it's a major safety hazard. I immediately found an auto repair shop, and the mechanic said replacing the master cylinder would solve it. It cost a bit, but now I drive with much more peace of mind. Regular maintenance should include checking the fluid and pedal resistance.
