Signs You Need Clutch Replacement
Recognising the warning signs early can prevent further damage and costly repairs. Contact us if you notice any of these symptoms:
Slipping Clutch
Engine revs increase without corresponding acceleration. The clutch fails to engage properly, causing loss of power.
Burning Smell
A distinct burning odour, especially when changing gears or pulling away, indicates clutch overheating or slipping.
Difficulty Changing Gears
Grinding noises or resistance when shifting gears suggests clutch wear or hydraulic issues.
Spongy or Sticking Pedal
A clutch pedal that feels soft, spongy, or sticks to the floor indicates hydraulic problems or mechanical failure.
Vibrating or Chattering
Unusual vibrations or chattering when engaging the clutch points to worn components or contamination.
High Biting Point
If the clutch engages near the top of the pedal travel, the friction material is likely worn thin.
