Clutch Repairs & Replacement Book Free Road Test Check

The clutch is perhaps the most important part of a vehicle’s transmission system, which allows you to select the appropriate gearing for the low and high speeds you are travelling. It comprises two metal plates which are responsible for maintaining a connection between the engine and the gearbox.

Generally a clutch should last anywhere between 30,000 miles and 100,000 miles, however this is dependent on your driving style and numerous other factors. Here are a few signs you can watch out for to detect issues with your clutch:

Slipping clutch
If your clutch is slipping, this can be caused when the flywheel and clutch fail to dis-engage which makes changing gears difficult. If left, this issue could get worse over time.

Unusual noises
Hearing rattling, growling or grinding sounds when you change gears could be a sign of an issue with your clutch.

Clutch Chatter
Clutch chatter is best described as a stutter or vibration as the clutch is released. This problem is caused by internal clutch issues such as a warped flywheel, worn pilot bearing/bushing, distorted clutch disc or loose clutch cover. Clutch chatter can also be caused by other faults in the engine including a loose transmission cross member, loose and broken engine or transmission mounts.
