Total Failure
Indicator
Severe bearing noise when foot is on the clutch. May even result in the pedal sticking down
Cause
1. Incorrect clutch free travel (bearing has excessive pre-load on the clutch diaphragm spring)
2. Clutch control failure (Cable, Hydraulic, Fork, Pivot Ball or Bearing Guide)
3. Driver error (The driver resting their foot on the clutch pedal whilst driving)
Effect
Incorrect release bearing clearance causes loss of grease due to significant heat. This results in total failure of the bearing
Action
1. Replace or repair any worn clutch control components
2. Replace clutch kit
3. Adjust the clutch cable or master cylinder to the manufacturer’s specifications
4. Driver education (Don’t rest the foot on the clutch pedal)
