The clutch also needs to slip when the gears are changed to ease the shock on the transmission and drivetrain. But once the clutch pedal is fully released, the clutch should hold firm and provide a solid coupling between the engine and transmission.<\/p>\n If it doesn’t, something is wrong and needs to be investigated.<\/p>\n Slipping will be most noticeable when the engine is under load, as when lugging at low speed in a high gear, when driving up a hill, when accelerating to pass another vehicle or when towing a trailer.[\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle title=”Clutch Vibration” icon_color=”#c1282a” use_icon_font_size=”on” icon_font_size=”36px” _builder_version=”4.9.4″ _module_preset=”default” title_text_color=”#000000″ title_font_size=”24px” body_text_color=”#000000″ body_font_size=”14px” body_line_height=”1.8em” background_color=”#FFFFFF” custom_padding=”0px|0px|35px|0px|false|true” title_font_size_tablet=”” title_font_size_phone=”20px” title_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” border_width_all=”0px” border_width_bottom=”1px” border_color_bottom=”#000000″]Chattering is a grabbing or jerking condition that occurs when the clutch is engaged.<\/p>\n Clutch chatter is often caused by oil or grease on the clutch linings, but it can also be caused by burned or glazed linings, a warped or grooved flywheel, missing flywheel dowel pins, a worn pilot bearing\/bushing, a worn bearing retainer, worn or damaged clutch disc or input shaft splines, bent or broken drive straps on the clutch, a bent or distorted clutch disc, a loose clutch cover or even missing flywheel dowel pins.<\/p>\n External causes of clutch chatter include loose or broken engine or transmission mounts, misalignment of the chassis and drivetrain components, worn or damaged U-joints or CV joints, a loose transmission crossmember, a worn or bent release fork, or loose rear left spring bushings or spring U-bolt nuts.[\/et_pb_toggle][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.6.1″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding_tablet=”50px||||false|false” custom_padding_phone=”50px||||false|false” custom_padding_last_edited=”on|phone”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.7″ _module_preset=”default” header_2_font=”|700|||||||” header_2_font_size=”48px” header_3_font=”|700|||||||” header_3_font_size=”40px” hover_enabled=”0″ header_2_font_size_tablet=”” header_2_font_size_phone=”32px” header_2_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” header_3_font_size_tablet=”34px” header_3_font_size_phone=”28px” header_3_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_toggle title=”Hard Clutch Pedal” icon_color=”#c1282a” use_icon_font_size=”on” icon_font_size=”36px” _builder_version=”4.9.4″ _module_preset=”default” title_text_color=”#000000″ title_font_size=”24px” body_text_color=”#000000″ body_font_size=”14px” body_line_height=”1.8em” background_color=”#FFFFFF” custom_padding=”0px|0px|35px|0px|false|true” title_font_size_tablet=”” title_font_size_phone=”20px” title_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” border_width_all=”0px” border_width_bottom=”1px” border_color_bottom=”#000000″]<\/p>\n All clutches require a certain amount of pedal effort, but if the pedal feels unusually stiff or hard, check for sticking or binding in the pedal linkage, cable, cross shaft, fork or pivot ball.<\/p>\n A blockage or worn seals in the hydraulic system can also increase pedal effort.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle title=”Clutch won’t Release” icon_color=”#c1282a” use_icon_font_size=”on” icon_font_size=”36px” _builder_version=”4.9.4″ _module_preset=”default” title_text_color=”#000000″ title_font_size=”24px” body_text_color=”#000000″ body_font_size=”14px” body_line_height=”1.8em” background_color=”#FFFFFF” custom_padding=”0px|0px|35px|0px|false|true” title_font_size_tablet=”” title_font_size_phone=”20px” title_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” border_width_all=”0px” border_width_bottom=”1px” border_color_bottom=”#000000″]<\/p>\n If the clutch does not release completely when the clutch pedal is fully depressed, the disc will continue to turn the input shaft. This may prevent the driver from shifting the transmission from neutral into gear, cause grinding when the gears are changed, or cause the engine to stall when coming to a stop.<\/p>\n A clutch that won’t release may have a misadjusted linkage, a broken or stretched release cable, a leaky or defective slave or master clutch cylinder, air in the hydraulic line or cylinders, corroded, damaged or improperly lubricated input shaft splines, a worn pilot bearing\/bushing, a worn bearing retainer, bent of worn release fork or pivot ball, bent clutch drive straps, bent or distorted clutch disc, improperly installed clutch disc or clutch, or mismatched clutch components.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle title=”Internal Clutch Noise” icon_color=”#c1282a” use_icon_font_size=”on” icon_font_size=”36px” _builder_version=”4.9.4″ _module_preset=”default” title_text_color=”#000000″ title_font_size=”24px” body_text_color=”#000000″ body_font_size=”14px” body_line_height=”1.8em” background_color=”#FFFFFF” custom_padding=”0px|0px|35px|0px|false|true” title_font_size_tablet=”” title_font_size_phone=”20px” title_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” border_width_all=”0px” border_width_bottom=”1px” border_color_bottom=”#000000″]Causes of internal Clutch noise include:<\/p>\n \u2022 Worn or defective input shaft bearing.
