What Does a Clutch Do?
A clutch is a device that connects the engine to the transmission of a motor vehicle.
Clutches are typically engaged when it’s time for the driver to change gears, and disengaged once they’re in gear. Clutches release either using foot pedals or hand levers on cars with manual transmissions.
There are two types of car clutches: dry and wet (or oil-bath). Wet clutches use an organic fluid called lubricant as their medium; this type requires more maintenance than its dry counterpart but offers greater efficiency by creating less heat friction between moving parts inside the unit.

What Happens When Your Clutch Needs Repairing?
The most common reason your clutch will need repair is if it slips too much in an upshift. Clutches are connected to the transmission, so this problem will usually be detected as a clunk or vibrating sound when shifting gears.
There’s also the possibility your clutch will need repair if you experience unusual wear-and-tear like slippage and vibration/Judder in first gear (especially after it warms up). In more extreme cases, there may be grinding sounds indicating that metal parts have chipped off inside the unit; these should always cause concern because they can eventually lead to total system failure.
When you take your car into Torstone Automotive for repairs or a general service, we’ll start by examining how much wear has accumulated on all of its clutch components, including cogsets and gears.

How To Extend The Lifespan of Your Clutch
With just a little bit of know-how and some discipline, you can easily double the life span of your clutch.
You should avoid heavy shifting as this puts undue strain on the components in your transmission, but if it’s absolutely necessary then use care to ensure that gears are changed smoothly rather than quickly ticking through them one after another.
It is also wise to refrain from driving with your foot on the clutch pedal for manual vehicles, as this is causing pressure build-up of the fluid and results in burning the clutch.
The end result? A more expensive repair.
