What can cause clutch drag?

Clutch drag can be caused by several factors, including insufficient clutch pedal free play, a worn or damaged clutch release bearing, or a malfunctioning hydraulic system that fails to disengage the clutch fully. Additionally, contamination of the clutch components with oil or grease can hinder proper disengagement. Misalignment of the clutch components or a sticking clutch plate can also contribute to clutch drag. Regular maintenance and timely inspection are essential to prevent this issue.
