Clutch abit strange? - Bailes1992 - 05-02-2012

If I just lean my foot on the clutch pedal the car shoots off like I've stabbed the accelerator?

The clutch dosen't slip at all.

This is a 406 with a hydraulic clutch.

Anyone got any ideas?

Right if I'm driving at a steady 30mph and I rest my foot on the clutch it starts accelerating.

Clutch is on the left yeah.


Re: Clutch abit strange? - Toms306 - 05-02-2012

Think we need a vid of this Sam..... :?

The ONLY thing that I can think of thats possibly linked is the clutch switch...so when you bang the clutch in, the ECU adjusts the revs slightly to smooth the ride....if thats faulty I guess something like the above could happen.....it sounds very unlikely though! Confusedhock:


Re: Clutch abit strange? - Bailes1992 - 05-02-2012

It is really odd. At first the 406 was jerky as hell and I thought it was air in the fuel. But then I realised it only happens when I rest my foot on the clutch.
And if I slowly rest my foot on the clutch (which at a steady speed) the car will start accelerating. It is really strange.

Although I didn't think about the clutch switch!

I have learned to take my foot completley off the clutch now, but it is a little annoying.

Tbh, you shouldn't rest your foot on the clutch anyway....foot should only be on the clutch to change gear. Thats why you have a foot rest to the left. Big Grin

My Focus didn't have one, so I got used to resting my foot on the clutch lol

Don't rest your foot on the clutch, it'll slowly wear out the release bearing Wink


Re: Clutch abit strange? - Atterz - 06-02-2012

And will be constantly slipping wearing out the friction plate. Pet hate is people riding the clutch, your taught not to in your driving lessons/test. Sheeesh.

Fair enough.....cheap Ford crap....... Tongue

Seriously though, don't do it! Wink

The clutch is not slipping, actually the biting point is right at the bottom of the pedal.
