Signs you need a new clutch

Clutches wear. Town driving and hills wear them faster. A small slip becomes a car that will not pull away on a slope. We would rather confirm it on a road test than sell you a clutch you do not need.

Typical signs

  • Revs rise, speed does not
  • Biting point very high
  • Judder on take-off
  • Burning smell after traffic
  • Gears crunch or resist

What the job involves

Labour is the bulk of the cost because the gearbox usually has to come off. Dual-mass flywheels are extra on some cars. We quote once we know the vehicle.
