Autodata lends a steady hand to a garage with a 2019 Suzuki Ignis whose clutch was making an abnormal noise and providing jerky operation when depressed or released.
The problem:
“We have a 2019 Suzuki Ignis in for service and the customer has mentioned that the car has a jerky clutch operation and also an abnormal noise when the clutch pedal is depressed or released. We have lubricated the moving parts of the clutch pedal assembly but the clutch operation is still jerky and the noise still persists. Have other Ignis owners reported this fault before?”
What does Autodata recommend?
Yes, the jerky clutch operation you have described has been reported to us before by other Ignis owners. The issue is due to insufficient lubrication of the clutch release lever.
Start by removing the clutch cable from the clutch release lever. Then, thoroughly clean the clutch release lever and clutch cable ball joint contact surfaces.
Apply grease to contact surface of clutch release lever and then fit the clutch cable to the clutch release lever. Ensure clutch cable is correctly adjusted before operating the clutch pedal to ensure the fault has been correctly rectified.
