Sliding clutch - ano kaya sira?

[phillipogi]

what is the possible problem with a sliding clutch....the whole clutch system or just one of the parts? While revving, biglang nag-slide lang yung rev but nothing happens...nangyari kanina while driving on a slopped part of a bridge eh.....help naman!!!

[vinj]

It could be just one part like the pressure plate or clustch disk. However, a common/recommended practice if you have not replaced any part is to change the pressure plate, release bearing and clutch disk in one sitting para isa na lang yung gastos for labor on bringing down the clutch... Thats if that is the problem (which usually is with sliding/dragging clutches, kung hindi na makuha sa adjustmen). More or less these parts will need replacement somewhere down the road due to wear and tear.

upod na clutch mo. better replace the whole clutch assembly.

[GoThicbLuE]

Pards adjust mo muna baka makuha pa, pag hindi na kaya kailangan na ibaba tranny at better palitan mo na clutch disk pressure plate release bearing. Usually sabay sabay or halos sabay ang wear ng mga parts na to gaya nga ng sabi ni vinj para isang babaan na lang ng tranny tipid sa labor.

Subukan mo muna sa adjustment. Para masulit ang clutch disk. 5 minute operation lang naman ang adjustment kung magaling ang mekaniko.

I had mine adjusted sa may Richmaster sa Pantranco.

Just before you do any tinkering with the clutch adjustments, remember to put a mark where its setting was. Para alam mo kung hanggang saan ibabalik yung orig settings pag nagpalit na ng buong clutch assembly. Alam ko sa mga bagong sasakyan, sagad na ang adjustments hanggang sa maupod na ang clutch discs. You could adjust, but it will just put more burden on your flywheel. May tendency na sumabit yung rivets ng clutch disc sa flywheel and further damage it.

kanina when i was driving during the heavy downpour, napansin ko na parang lumambot ng todo at parang lumubog yung clutch pedal ko way beyond the normal level... ano kaya nagcause nito and anong dahilan?

[fundy]

ssaloon, malamang you have leakage in the system. often times its the secondary master of the clutch. have it checked very soon.

[ssaloon]

pero nung pauwi nako and di na mashado malakas and ulan, ok na sya eh! pacheck ko na rin to be sure.

Nabasa na po ang clutch lining nyo. Malamang sa tumapak kayo ng clutch pedal habang nakalubog sa malalim na baha yung inyong sasakyan. Pinasok na yan ng tubig, magkakaroon ng "hard spots" ang flywheel, which has no effect on its performance. Mahihirapan lang ang machine shop pag papakinisin nyo next time. Check your transmission fluids, pag naging kulay kape na may gatas palit agad. Water contaminated oil na yan.

dinaan nga sa baha ng kuya ko yung car ko nung hiniram nya last sunday... badtrip :evil:

[Ungas]

Not to worry, pinaka mahal na siguro damage nyan change tranny oils. Next time, if possible don't depress clutch while it is still wet or submerged, to avoid any other part damage.

[fundy]

ungas, isn't it common advise to rev the engine while car is submerged? so water does not enter tail pipe and to avoid stalling? then definitely one will depress clutch. so surely one will depress th clutch pedal. what's the proper thing to do?

drive in the lowest gear possible (or maybe in low-range) so you dont need to depress the clutch pedal. you could shift gears without using the clutch assuming you can match the revs exactly, but that's bound to cause more harm than good for most people. you can shift into neutral without clutching relatively safely.

[Ungas]

fundy::: On some vehicles, there is no need to rev it high, normal engine rpm can prevent water sipping in your tail pipe and avoid stalling. Like splerdu explained, drive it in your lowest gear, let the vehicle crawl. At a stand point or heavy traffic scenario, there is no need to stay close the vehicle you're following. Minimizing clutch use, and sometimes it could help if you raise the rpm by just stepping on the gas pedal.

[fundy]

splerdu/ ungas, gotcha. thanks.

nice input, di ko din alam kasi yan, thanks Ungas.

help peeps.
i hear a "grinding" noise when my car is idle, but it dissapears when i depress the clutch.
whatcha think peeps??:P

[Ungas]

benchph1::: Baka naman po clattering sound ng clutch release bearing yung tinutukoy nyo? The grinding noise should only be heard when a gear is engaged and the vehicle is in motion, may sira na ang trannys. Pero kung grinding noise during idle and lessens when the cltuch is pressed, only one thing comes into my mind, clutch release bearing is not properly mounted.

[benchph1]

yup yup tumpak sir ungas....i can only hear it when idle and the noise dissapears/lessens when i depress the clutch pedal. my car is already 6 years old,
although the clutch is not yet sliding, palitan ko na ba clutch disc?
