Clutch Replacement

Clutch Replacement

There’s nothing worse than the smell of a burnt out clutch and the hefty bill that comes with it. While it’s something that can be fixed without much effort, too many mechanics are charging unreasonable amounts without the guarantee of sustainable performance. That’s why we’ve taken it upon ourselves to redefine automobile servicing in Western Australia with a reliable, cost-effective set of high-quality offerings.

Speak to us today about clutch replacement for your vehicle.

Clutch Mechanics

Clutches are the pivotal connections between two rotating shafts, with one typically being driven by a motor and the other serving as the driving force behind another device. This is evident in a drill where one shaft is driven by the motor while the other drives a drill chuck. The clutch is used to connect the shafts, allowing them to either be locked together and spin at the same speed or be ‘decoupled’ and rotate at varying speeds.

When it comes to a vehicle, the clutch is so necessary because the engine spins all the time – even when the wheels come to a stop. This is possible because the wheels are allowed to disconnect from the engine without turning it off. Technically, the clutch makes it possible to engage a spinning engine to a non-spinning transmission with control over the slippage between the two. The result lies in the ability to pull away, change gears and stop the wheels.

Clutch Replacement

While a clutch can handle quite a lot of wear, there will come a time when it needs to be replaced. Failing to do so can land you in some uncomfortable situations and even stranded next to the road.

Here are three common problems that may only be resolved with a clutch replacement:

1. A worn clutch will slip as you apply power to the accelerator, even when the pedal is entirely out. The result will be an unexpected increase in engine revs without the car moving any faster.

2. A juddering clutch will appear when setting off from a complete standstill, manifesting as a powerful vibration from the engine when releasing the clutch. This can be related to more than one problem with the clutch system.

3. A low rumbling noise from the gearbox that disappears when you apply pressure to the clutch pedal could indicate an issue with the release bearing or dual mass flywheel.
