What Does My Clutch Do?

A clutch is essentially two metal plates inside the engine where the flywheel carries a pressure plate (driving disc), pressure springs and release bearings. It’s not an easy job which is why clutch repairs can be expensive and time-consuming.

When you press down on the clutch pedal, the plates come apart separating the engine from the drive wheels allowing you to change gear. Releasing the pedal again re-engages the plates which then connect the engine to the drive wheels. As your car engine is constantly running, a clutch is necessary to separate the engine from the drive wheels when you stop the car. This is exactly what happens when you push down the clutch just before you stop otherwise the car would stall.

Common signs that you may need a new clutch or clutch repairs

It’s may not always be easy to know when you need clutch repairs or replacement, but there are a few common signs to look out for. If you experience any of the following issues, we highly recommend getting your clutch checked by a professional:

  • Clutch Pedal Making a Noise: If you hear a noise when pressing or releasing the clutch pedal, it could indicate a problem with the clutch mechanism.
  • Difficulty Changing Gears: If you’re struggling to change gears, or the gear lever feels stiff or unresponsive, it could be a sign of a worn or damaged clutch.
  • Rattling or Grinding Sound: A rattling or grinding sound when changing gears can indicate a possible issue with the clutch or gearbox.
  • Vibrating Clutch Pedal: If your clutch pedal vibrates when you accelerate, it could be a sign of a damaged clutch plate.
  • Loss of Acceleration: If you notice poor acceleration when revving the engine, it could indicate a slipping clutch.
  • Random Engine Revving: If your engine revs randomly higher or lower, it could also be a sign of a clutch problem
