Ever find yourself in the situation where changing gears is either becoming difficult or even almost impossible?

Perhaps you can change gears but there are unusual noises or some difficulty in doing so? If this happens to be the case there is a pretty good chance you might be facing issues with your clutch.

Clutch issues may be caused by a broken flywheel, faulty clutch plate or leaky hoses. Symptoms include grinding or chirping noises, problems getting into or changing gears and clutch sticking.

Similar to your brakes, your clutch uses a plate with friction material which gets worn over time and must be replaced. This procedure is a normal part of maintaining your vehicle but you might also encounter unexpected problems.

If you notice any of the symptoms above, or any indications that something seems wrong when trying to change gears, bring your vehicle in for an inspection before it gets any worse. We are located in Moonah and regularly service the vehicles of customers in the surrounding areas as well.

The most noticeable problems for a poorly performing or worn clutch is loss of drive, slipping or shuddering when starting off. The clutch can wear out through normal wear and tear but this can be made worse by regular heavy towing, faulty components, incorrect operation or other factors (such as training a new driver who has a tendency to ride the clutch). You should never have to feel like you are not safe on the road. Our team is well versed in all clutch issues, such as:

• Clutch plate Friction Material Worn causing slippage and or shudder
