Maruti Suzuki Baleno Worn Out Clutch
We had this 2019 Maruti Suzuki Baleno, having covered an overall driving mileage of 26k kilometres, visit one of our MotoFyx car repair workshop in a towed state due to a failed clutch. Prior to the breakdown, there was a noticeable performance drop along with a burning smell being observed. With the car refusing to start and seeking a permanent fix to the above concern the car owner reached out to us for immediate assistance.
Upon a detailed inspection of the car by our expert technicians, initial diagnosis did indicate symptoms of a worn out clutch set. Upon further dismantling the gearbox the clutch plate and pressure plate were severely worn out damaging. The clutch release bearing had also become weak due to which the actuation of the clutch set wasn’t smooth.
