Get your gear on - Common clutch issues

Often when there are clutch issues you may have a hard time getting the car into a gear or it will crunch going into gear, especially in reverse. It's also common to have a slipping problem (when the engine revs, but the car doesn't accelerate correctly). These problems can signal a major issue in your car. In order to keep your family safe on the road, bring your vehicle in to our mechanics. They can diagnose such clutch issues as:

  • Faulty Throw Out Bearings
  • Friction Material Worn Out on the Clutch Plate
  • Clutch Plate and Flywheel Not Spinning in Sync
  • Leaking Clutch Fluid Reducing Hydraulic Pressure
  • Too Much Slack in the Clutch Cable
  • Clutch Disc Worn Out From Riding the Clutch
  • Release Fork Sticks and Makes a Chirping Sound

If you experience these issues it can cause grinding sounds or issues getting started. There is no reason to go around another corner or try and downshift up another hill with clutch issues. Call our team at Blackwood Dyno Tune & Service for repair today!
