Pinpoint Test 3: Clutch Drag

PINPOINT TEST 3: CLUTCH DRAG

Normal Operation

Clutch pedal movement is transmitted by fluid pressure to the slave cylinder, which in turn presses the release bearing against the clutch diaphragm spring. This force causes the spring to pull the pressure plate away from the clutch disc.

Possible Causes
- Fluid level
- Clutch pedal free play
- Clutch diaphragm spring
- Clutch pedal
- Clutch contamination
