Clutch Pedal is Hard and vibrate (Kia Picanto 2005)

[Iroshw]

Hi,

 

I bought a Kia Picanto 2005 Manual recently. I have noticed the Clutch Pedal is too hard and it vibrates when changing the gear. It has done nearly 90k. 

Pls help.

Could be due to various issues with your clutch plate, pressure plate or release bearing. I helped a friend with a vibrating clutch pedal once and it was due to a couple of broken diaphragm spring on the pressure plate. Some other reasons could be:

- Clutch cable being pulled by wobbly engine: Check engine mounts and clutch cable (your car has a cable operated clutch).

- Unevenly worn out flywheel: Get the flywheel resurfaced

- Warped clutch plate: Replace clutch plate

- Worn out torsion springs on the clutch plate: Replace clutch plate

- Worn/broken diaphragm springs on the pressure plate: Replace pressure plate

- Worn out release bearing: Replace bearing/release fork

Regardless of what the actual cause is, you will have to take out the gearbox of the car to determine the actual cause. Is this a sudden/recent development? Did you rev hard while riding the clutch recently?
