You Know You Need To Change Your Clutch When:

A lot of things can go wrong when your car has a faulty clutch, but these are the most common occurrences you should take note of: 

 

  • You have problems switching gears
  • You experience a loss of engine power
  • You feel shudders or vibrations rocking your car when driving
  • You consistently hear a loud crunching noise
  • You smell something burning when driving
  • You cannot engage the gear completely
  • When you start your car, rapid vibrations rock it
  • The car does not accelerate when you depress the throttle pedal but the engine RPM increases.

Clutch Do’s And Don’ts

There are a number of things you can do to increase the lifespan of your clutch and avoid serious complications. They include:

  • Avoid resting your foot on the clutch while driving
  • Always release the handbrake slowly, press the release button firmly as you raise the clutches and accelerate
  • When starting your car on surfaces that are steeply raised, do not hold the clutch longer than usual. This ends up wearing your clutch’s friction system down.
  • When waiting at traffic lights, make sure your car is not in gear while your foot is engaging the clutch.
  • Avoid slipping clutches deliberately to avoid changing gears.
  • If your car has a hydraulic clutch system, make sure that its reservoir is well-filled
