Clutch

About Clutches

From the moment your car starts, your clutch springs into action. Whether you drive an auto or manual transmission, the clutch is responsible for taking your vehicle smoothly through the gears and delivering a boost of power when it is needed. Being an essential component, it is important that your clutch is always in good working order. Any problems should be addressed as soon as possible as a faulty clutch could bring down other components in your vehicle very quickly costing you more in the process.

The clutch is designed to separate the engine from the wheels and allows you to change gear and completely stop your vehicle while the engine is still running. It is made up of three parts - the pressure plate, the clutch plate and the flywheel.

Some of the most common clutch problems include:

  • Sticking, spongy, loose or vibrating clutch pedal when pressed
  • Poor acceleration and ability to rev the engine
  • Grumbling or squeaking noise when the clutch pedal is pressed
  • Difficulty changing gear
  • The clutch is 'slipping' causing a momentary loss of acceleration

If you have noticed that something isn't quite right with your clutch, it could be time for a replacement. The cost of a new clutch will depend on your make and model of the vehicle and the problem you are experiencing. A new clutch kit can often be the best solution as it includes everything you need to replace your clutch. Each kit typically includes a clutch disc, flywheel, pressure plate, bearings and an alignment tool.

Your transmission is one of the most crucial parts of your vehicle. It is literally what keeps your vehicle moving. However, repairing the transmission can be one of the more expensive maintenance tasks. For this reason, many people carry on driving and ignore the continuing signs of clutch damage and disrepair. This is a mistake that could cost them dearly as it could result in a full transmission replacement being required.
