Clutch Repair

Seaside’s Go-To Shop for Expert Clutch Repair

The clutch is an essential component in a manual transmission vehicle, as it allows the driver to smoothly engage and disengage the engine from the transmission. This is necessary for changing gears and controlling the vehicle’s speed. Over time, the clutch can wear out and may need to be repaired or replaced.

Common Clutch Problems

The clutch is made up of many parts that can have problems. Here are some of the parts we will inspect:

  • Clutch disc: The clutch disc is the component that sits between the flywheel and the pressure plate and provides the friction necessary to transmit power from the engine to the transmission. A worn clutch disc will not provide enough friction to fully engage the gears, which can make shifting difficult or impossible. A worn clutch disc can also cause the gears to grind or slip.
  • Pressure plate: The pressure plate is the component that applies pressure to the clutch disc to engage the gears. A worn or damaged pressure plate will not apply enough pressure to fully engage the gears, which can cause slipping or grinding.
  • Release bearing: The release bearing is responsible for pushing the pressure plate away from the clutch disc to disengage the gears. When the bearing wears out or is damaged, it can cause a grinding or whining noise when the clutch is disengaged.
  • Flywheel: The flywheel is a heavy metal disc that sits behind the clutch and provides a smooth surface for the clutch to press against. A worn flywheel can cause the gears to grind or slip, and it can also cause vibration and noise when the clutch is engaged.
