I have a kia ceed hybrid electric diesel car 2021
Its the imt electric clutch

I have driven atleast 5 cars manual but this clutch it bites.. Very hard in every gear even 4th to fifth. Even when it's warmed up changing to 2nd to 3rd or any gear the bite is hard.. And jolts even a bit
the car will jolt if I release the clutch if its not slow I mean like 4 - 6 seconds holding the clutch sometimes. Sometimes it changes OK like once every 100 gear changes.
Bites hard in every gear even 5th to 6th. I can hear something when the clutch bites underneath the car sounds like the clutch engaging but more of a clank. But doesn't sound broken nothing vibrates no noise nothing feels weird.

I have driven alot of cars and this clutch is nothing like a hydraulic clutch every gear is a challenge lol


My question could it be air in the clutch line? Or is it completely normal? If its normal its completely trash and kia have failed

Quite clearly such a car should be under warranty. Let the dealer fix any problems.

And I've never heard of an electric clutch. Are you referring to a manual car with a gearstick, or some sort of automated manual transmission ?
