Clutch Repair

 

The clutch is a mechanical device that allows the engine to be connected and disconnected from the transmission. This allows the driver to change gears without damaging the transmission. The clutch is made up of a number of components, including the flywheel, the clutch disc, the pressure plate, and the throwout bearing.

Over time, the clutch can wear out and need to be replaced. Some of the most common signs of  a bad clutch are:

  • Difficulty shifting gears
  • Grinding noises when shifting gears
  • Vibrations when shifting gears
  • Slippage when accelerating
  • A burning smell when the clutch is engaged

If you’re experiencing any of the issues listed, it may be a sign that your clutch needs to be repaired, or even, replaced. A worn clutch can damage the transmission if it is not replaced so it is important to have the clutch checked by a qualified mechanic.
