Clutch Replacement

Your clutch enables you to connect and control the power of the engine to your gearbox – and then to create motion. It’s essential that it is working correctly and that wear is monitored.

How do I know when I need my clutch replacing?

If you’ve noticed any of the signs below, you may need a clutch replacement:

• If the clutch pedal feels spongy, vibrates or sticks when you press it
• If you hear a squeaking or grumbling noise when you press the pedal
• The car has difficulty accelerating
• If it’s difficult to change gear
• If it feels like the clutch slips so you lose acceleration for a moment

How can I make my clutch last longer?

What you can do to increase the durability of your clutch:

• Don’t rest your foot on the clutch pedal while driving, you will wear out the bearings.
• Don’t leave the car in gear with your foot on the clutch at traffic lights or when doing a hill-start for the same reason.
• Release the handbrake gradually with your thumb on the release button as you lift the clutch and press the accelerator.
