Vehicle Clutch

The clutch is a key part of any vehicle that transfers engine power to the wheels. Because the clutch plays such a vital role in the operation of your vehicle, it also endures a lot of wear and tear. Keeping your clutch in good working order is necessary to be able to drive your car smoothly, whether it's a manual or an automatic. If you've begun to notice issues with your clutch while driving, it's time to have it inspected and repaired or replaced by the team at Blue Lake Auto & RV Repair.

Common Questions

What are common issues with a vehicle clutch?

If your car is struggling to accelerate, won't stay in gear and makes grinding noises every time it's shifting gears, your vehicle has a bad clutch. A lot of problems can cause the clutch to fail, such as:

  • Cylinders leaking
  • Warped flywheel
  • Worn-out clutch disc
  • Worn-out pressure plate
  • Worn-out throwout bearing

If your clutch completely breaks down, your vehicle may become undriveable. As soon as you notice symptoms of a worn-out clutch, it's time to schedule an appointment us.

How often should I replace my clutch?

The lifespan of a clutch varies depending on the vehicle and driving conditions. Most clutches last between 50,000 and 100,000 miles, but aggressive driving, frequent stop-and-go traffic, or towing heavy loads can reduce this lifespan.

How long do clutch repairs take?

Clutch repairs usually take between 5 to 8 labor hours, depending on the type of repair and the vehicle. Replacing a clutch disc or pressure plate typically takes longer due to the need to remove the transmission.
