Clutch Replacement – Gosport

The clutch is one of the harder-worked components in any manual car, and wear is inevitable over time. How long a clutch lasts depends heavily on driving style and conditions , and city driving and frequent stop-start traffic are considerably harder on a clutch than motorway miles. Most last anywhere between 50,000 and 100,000 miles, but the signs of wear are usually clear when it’s time.

Signs Your Clutch May Need Replacing

Slipping – when the engine revs rise but the car doesn’t accelerate as expected
Difficulty selecting gears or gears crunching
Biting point noticeably higher or lower than usual
Juddering when pulling away from a standstill
Burning smell after clutch use, particularly on hills
Clutch pedal feels spongy, stiff, or has little resistance

Clutch Replacement at RCJ Automotive

Clutch replacement is a labour-intensive job, and the quality of the parts used matters as much as the quality of the work. At RCJ Automotive, we use quality-assured components and take the time to do the job properly, including inspecting the flywheel for wear while access is available because addressing it at the same time avoids the cost of returning to the same job later.

We’ll give you a clear, honest assessment of what your clutch needs before any work begins, so there are no surprises. If you’re experiencing any of the symptoms above, get in touch with the team at RCJ Automotive in Gosport.
