On the 2017-2024 Renault Kwid, the Kwid's cable-operated clutch is a chronic complaint across all model years in Brazil: the pedal becomes heavy and stiff, creaks loudly when pressed (owners compare it to an old door hinge or a trumpet sound when reversing), and reverse gear grinds or refuses to engage. Documented causes are the clutch cable losing lubrication and binding, the release fork deforming, and pressure-plate diaphragm springs weakening — several owners report symptoms starting under 5,000 km, and the local press (Diarinho) covered a case where a dealership dismissed the noise as 'normal.' Vrum additionally documents a smaller number of more severe gearbox failures where first, second, or reverse stop engaging entirely, some within months of purchase.

Common Symptoms

  • Heavy or stiff clutch pedal
  • Loud squeak or creak when pressing the clutch
  • Grinding noise when engaging reverse
  • Difficulty engaging reverse or first gear
  • Trumpet-like noise while reversing

How to Fix

Lubricating the old clutch cable quiets the squeak only for a few days — the documented lasting fix is replacing the clutch kit (disc, pressure plate, release bearing) together with a new clutch cable and checking the release fork for deformation. For hard reverse engagement, fully depress the clutch and pause briefly (or pass through a forward gear first) per Renault's own quick guide; persistent grinding after a new clutch indicates the cable/fork repair was incomplete. Total gearbox failures on cars in warranty should be replaced by Renault under warranty.

Typical repair cost:$230 - $500
