crackjack Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 Well all the manual cars comes with some or the other problem in the clutch in later future. I was driving a manual car for at least 5 years, so will mention the most common clutch problems I faced in my car: Wore/Tore Disc: The wearing out of clutch disc was the most common in cutch problems I faced in my car. There is a frictional material used in the clutch disc which is same as of brake pads or brake shows in a car. When the material starts wearing out, the clutch starts to slip. This is the most common issue that everybody has to phase. The only solution to this is replacing the clutch disc after regular time intervals. Well to avoid this issue, just maintain your car properly. You had to have to replace the clutch disc in regular time interval. Clutch Sticking: Sometimes when the speed of the clutch disc and flywheel doesn’t match, the clutch starts sticking and continues the process of turning the input shaft. It results into grinding noise and sometimes it’s impossible to change the gear when the clutch is sticky. To avoid this problem, don’t press or release the clutch rapidly, as the speed of the disc with the flywheel needs to maintain proportionally. Work clutch bearing: The throw out bearing which helps in releasing the clutch worn out in this type of problem. You will generally realize some sort of rumbling noise when you press the clutch. Hard clutch: You realize this issue when the pressing or releasing of clutch becomes really hard and difficult. The way you can avoid this issue by maintaining proper cycling or releasing pressing the clutch and do not over rule the clutch to perform. Also take care of the hydraulic system of the car as the blockage in the same can also cause hard clutch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tenace Posted April 16, 2015 Report Share Posted April 16, 2015 Thanks for sharing crackjack. I can only add that the situations when the clutch is worn are really unpleasant but you can notice them by the sound that comes from them. It's like scratching on a metal surface.
