Regular maintenance is the key to a long-lasting clutch. However, they do suffer a lot of wear and tear, so a clutch replacement is sometimes inevitable. Some of the key signs that indicate your car needs a clutch replacement are:
Slipping clutch: If you realize that your engine is revving but your car doesn’t accelerate as it needs to, this might be a sign that your clutch is slipping and can’t transfer the engine power to the wheels properly.
Smoke and burning smell: Sometimes, a worn clutch plate causes smoke and a bad burning smell, especially when you shift gears too often.
Difficulty in shifting gears: If you need to force the car into gear or if you are hearing squeaking and grumbling noises when you shift gears, this might also indicate a worn clutch.
As one of the car parts that are subject to constant and immense wear and tear, clutches are made to last. However, no matter what you do, your car will need a clutch replacement at some point. The interval between clutch replacement is ideally 60.000 miles. However, the wear and tear on it heavily depend on your driving style, how old your car is or how often you shift gears. We suggest consulting your vehicle handbook for a more specific interval or booking an inspection at our Sparsholt garage for an accurate opinion.
