Check slip

How to check the clutch disc yet? The second method does not involve using any special techniques. The driver when driving in city mode just need to monitor closely the behavior of the car. For example, if the machine is very hard going up, there is a burning smell or a drop in speed for no apparent reason, there is a slip.

When the clutch "leads"

When the clutch "leads", that there are unpleasant sounds from the gearbox, and transmission to include becomes more difficult. In this case, there is a way to test the clutch:

  1. Turn on the motor, put the transmission into neutral.
  2. Squeeze the clutch pedal.
  3. To be Included first.

If the activation transmission has to make an effort and so there are strange sounds from the box, it first says that the disk flywheel not disengaging. More often than not this problem is solved by means of pumping hydraulics and adjust the pedal.

Check disc wear

Recall that the clutch disk definitely has its share. Many car owners forget about it and only change when drive a car becomes uncomfortable. In the urban driving mode, this resource decreases rapidly, and if the machine "ran" around 70-80 thousand kilometers in the city, then the clutch disc is simply obliged to "act up". However, when traffic on roads the car can travel more than 300 thousand miles without replacing the clutch.

The easiest way to determine the degree of wear of the clutch disc through the pedal stroke. To do this:

  1. Install the machine on a level surface.
  2. Start the engine and warm up to operating temperature.
  3. Engage first gear and slowly release the clutch. This is not to allow the engine stalled. Please note, at what point starts the transmission of torque to the wheels. When the vibration in the machine will stop the test.

If the clutch start to grab at the beginning of the pedal stroke, it says that with a disk everything is in order and its degree of wear or low, or no (the disk is new). If the setting is in the middle of the pedal stroke, it may indicate deterioration of the disc, but not always. On some machines like pedal adjustment, where the disc catches on the middle of the pedal stroke.

In that case, if the setting is at the very end of pedal travel or even a slip, it is indicative of worn-out disk that requires replacement. In the presence of the smell of burning clutch disc needs to be changed urgently, otherwise there is a risk of damage to the flywheel.

Check the release bearing

It is not Enough just to know how to check the clutch. You should also be able to check the release bearing because this element in the transmission system plays an important role. Often damage to confuse with damage to the entire clutch system.

Validation is performed when you pressed the clutch pedal, since in this position transfers the torque to the bearing. He walks away and pulls the clutch disc. Therefore it is not recommended to hold down the clutch pedalfor too long, because it has an unstable load on a given part and leads to its rapid wear.

A Clear sign of wear of a bearing – sounds while pressing the clutch pedal (knocks, noises). However, if such sounds appear in cold weather, do not worry. This detail at low temperatures has a low coefficient of expansion due to the high strength of the steel. And the glass, where the whole site has a high coefficient of expansion. Therefore, when heated, the sound should be lost.

In addition, there are other signs that indicate faulty clutch: improper shifting, failure to include some transmission at all. Also pay attention to the twitching of the car when driving at speeds.

How to check the clutch cylinders?

In case of faulty cylinders, the vehicle may either not respond to pressing the clutch pedal at all, or respond incorrectly. Motorists often, which is a main or auxiliary cylinder, complaining that the car starts moving even if I press the clutch pedal. It primarily tells about the faulty cylinder. To check them simply considering that to break there is especially nothing, it is only necessary to check if there are any drips fluid in the cabin (just above the clutch pedal and under the hood). If no drips, then most likely, with the cylinders all right.

Conclusion

Now you know how to check the clutch. Of course, the high accuracy of verification can not be guaranteed, so in any case when you suspect a problem it is advisable to contact a HUNDRED. There know how to check the clutch vases and other brands of automobiles, including rare cars. On some foreign cars of the methods described above do not work.
