Clutch Replacement

A clutch connects and disconnects the engine from the gearbox (transmission) allowing smooth gear change and control of the engine power. A clutch plate (driven plate) is coated on both sides with a hard wearing high friction material. This is situated between the engine flywheel and a spring loaded pressure plate. The spring/pressure can be released by depressing the clutch pedal.

We know from experience that it is important to assess the car before fitting a new clutch as many symptoms could indicate a problem with the clutch, whilst the real fault may be something completely different such as engine revving, a slipping fan belt or the need for a minor adjustment.

Common comments from customers when describing suspected clutch problems are:

  • Changing gears becomes difficult
  • There’s a grinding or rattling sound when you change gears
  • Despite revving the engine, the vehicle doesn’t increase much in speed
  • You can hear the engine revs climbing and falling for no reason
  • The clutch starts to slip and acceleration is lost
  • The vehicle has lost drive
