Clutch Repairs & Replacement

A.S.A.P Motors

Signs that your car clutch may need replacing

  • Spongy or soft clutch pedal: A healthy clutch pedal should feel firm and responsive when pressed. If the pedal feels spongy or soft, it may be a sign that the clutch is worn out.
  • Slipping clutch: When you press the clutch pedal and accelerate, the engine should rev up without the car moving. If the car starts to move slowly, even though the engine is revving up, it may be a sign that the clutch is slipping.
  • Difficulty shifting gears: If you find it difficult to shift gears, it may be a sign that the clutch is worn out. The clutch is responsible for engaging and disengaging the engine from the transmission, so if it is not working properly, it can make it difficult to shift gears smoothly.
  • Burning smell: If you smell a burning smell coming from the engine compartment, it may be a sign that the clutch is overheating. This can happen if the clutch is worn out or if it is not being used properly.
  • Clutch noise: You may hear a grinding, squeaking, or whining noise coming from the engine compartment when you press the clutch pedal. This can be a sign that the clutch is worn out or that there is a problem with the clutch release bearing.

If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, it is important to have your car’s clutch inspected by a qualified mechanic as soon as possible. A failing clutch can be dangerous, and it can also lead to costly repairs if it is not addressed promptly.

The average lifespan of a clutch is about 96 500km. However, the lifespan of a clutch can vary depending on a number of factors, such as the type of car you drive, your driving habits, and the condition of the clutch when it was originally installed.

If you drive a lot of stop-and-go traffic, your clutch will wear out more quickly than if you drive mostly on the highway. If you tend to ride the clutch, or if you shift gears roughly, you will also shorten the lifespan of your clutch.

If you are concerned about the condition of your car’s clutch, it is a good idea to have it inspected by a qualified mechanic every 48 000 kms or so. This will help to ensure that your clutch is in good condition and that it does not fail unexpectedly.

What we, at A.S.A.P Motors do, to determine if your car clutch is faulty and what would they need to do for the necessary repairs

We would start by inspecting your car’s clutch pedal. We would look for signs of wear and tear, such as a spongy or soft pedal, or a pedal that engages too early or late. We would also check the clutch release bearing for noise or wear.

Next, at A.S.A.P Motors we would remove the transmission from your car and disassemble the clutch system. This would allow us to inspect the clutch disc, pressure plate, and flywheel for wear and tear. We would also check the throwout bearing and pilot bearing for damage.

If we determine that your clutch is faulty, we will need to replace the worn or damaged parts. This may include the clutch disc, pressure plate, flywheel, throwout bearing, and pilot bearing. We may also need to adjust the clutch linkage.

The cost of repairing a faulty clutch will vary depending on the make and model of your car, as well as the severity of the damage.
