Clutch is a very important knot in the design of any car. It includes a clutch release clutch. Symptoms of the failure of the element, its purpose - later in this article.
What is it for?
Clutch release bearing (2110th VAZ in volumenumber) provides a link between the clutch discs, making their detachment and attaching to a certain time interval. It is controlled by pressing the pedal.
Where to use
Automakers use this element onsystems with two drives - the slave and the master. The first element receives the torque from the second and transfers it to the transmission. Further on карданной transfers effort is transferred on a reducer, and then - on wheels. The drive disk is tightly fastened to the crankshaft. To switch the driver from one transfer to another (no matter whether it is elevated or lowered), it is necessary to separate the two elements. This operation is made precisely by the bearing. The force is controlled by depressing the clutch pedal. When it is squeezed "to the floor", the torque transmission stops - the bearing rotates at the same speed as the flywheel. As you release, the two disks join together. At this time, there are high loads imposed on the clutch release bearing. Malfunctions of these elements arise precisely because of heavy loads.
How to determine its wear and tear?
First of all, the element will start publishingcharacteristic noises and sounds. And what is most interesting, during the movement on the transfer they can not be noticed. But as soon as you clicked on the clutch pedal, there is a terrible hum, and sometimes a knock. Especially it intensifies in the winter. It is worth noting the high reliability of the construction of such a detail as clutch release clutch. The signs of a malfunction of this node at the first stages are very difficult to notice. Sometimes you will hear a slight rustle, which does not increase with time. However, this feature is enough to diagnose the element for a malfunction. Also, there are difficulties with the inclusion of gear, especially the rear. Inclusion of speed can be accompanied by a characteristic crunch. Also, this symptom may indicate a malfunction of the synchronizers or the pressure and slave drive. But in any case at occurrence of noise it is necessary to make diagnostics of all components of the site.
How can I extend the resource?
As we said earlier, the task of this bearing is to disconnect the two disks.
But how to be?
Everything is very simple.For example, you drove to an intersection, where a red traffic light signal. If the green does not turn on for 5-10 seconds, safely turn on the neutral, and keep the car (if it's a slope) on the handbrake or the brake pedal. Benefit at many traffic lights is a timer, so you can predict the situation in advance. But this rule should be used not only at intersections, but also in any other traffic situation (for example, standing in a traffic jam). It is not necessary to "play" with the clutch, sneaking behind the oncoming car in order to observe the minimum distance.
Conclusion
So, we found out what kind of release bearingclutch signs of malfunction. As you can see, the main symptom is extraneous sounds in the area of the box and the clutch, as well as difficulties in switching gears. By the way, this element is checked simply - it is enough to take one hand for its base, and the second to rotate it on the axis. If you are replacing a disc or a basket, do not be lazy to make such a diagnosis. After all, it is possible, after a couple of hundred kilometers, you will have to remove all the hinged ones again or go to the service, where you will be asked for a considerable sum.
