Why is the clutch of Geely Freedom not disengaging?
2 Answers
Geely Freedom's clutch not disengaging is due to insufficient brake fluid, clutch master cylinder leakage, or poor sealing of the clutch master cylinder. The details are as follows: Insufficient brake fluid: If there is not enough brake fluid in the clutch oil reservoir, the clutch will not function properly. If the fluid level checks out normal, try operating the clutch several times to see if there is any improvement in gear shifting. If there is improvement, it indicates air in the clutch hydraulic system, which needs to be bled. Clutch master cylinder leakage: Check around the clutch master cylinder and slave cylinder for any signs of leakage. If leakage is found, replace the leaking slave cylinder or master cylinder. Poor sealing of the clutch master cylinder: It is recommended to replace the entire assembly for better results.
I've encountered this issue a few times, and a friend driving a Geely Freedom also experienced the clutch pedal not responding when pressed. The most common causes are faults in the clutch hydraulic system, such as leaks in the master or slave cylinders, insufficient brake fluid, or air entering the hydraulic lines. You should carefully check the brake fluid reservoir level; if it's low, top it up and try bleeding the system. Additionally, severe wear of the clutch pressure plate or a seized release bearing can also be major issues, leading to incomplete power disengagement and gear grinding when shifting. I must remind you not to drive a faulty vehicle, especially in city traffic jams, as clutch failure could cause the car to lurch forward uncontrollably. Quickly find a repair shop to test the hydraulic pressure; they can also check the clutch disc thickness to ensure safety first. The hydraulic system in this Geely model sometimes lacks sufficient sealing in design, making it prone to leaks. Don't forget to change the clutch fluid during regular maintenance to prevent these problems from occurring.
