CLUTCH REPLACEMENT

Clutch Repair and Replacement

So the question becomes, When do you replace your clutch? There are some warning signs that you can look for to recognize a failing clutch. To begin with, check the following:

Listen: your vehicle may rev up irregularly or excessively with no noticeable increase in speed. Often, this symptom will occur when the tachometer begins bouncing erratically and there’s a jerking of the car. These are warning signs of a failing clutch and indicate an immediate need for attention.

Look: watch for your vehicle’s tachometer to respond erratically. A clutch will slip and not shift as smoothly as it begins to wear out. In response, the tachometer’s indicator will move erratically up and down.

Feel: be aware of any difficulty changing gears. If it’s becoming necessary to force the stick shift into gear, then the clutch is not engaging or disengaging correctly.

Smell: When a clutch begins to fail, it can produce an unpleasant odor that smells like burnt rubber. If the clutch is grinding improperly against the flywheel, it causes friction that produces this noxious odor.
