Signs Your Clutch May Need Replacing
A worn clutch can behave differently depending on the vehicle and the component that is failing.
Common symptoms include the engine revving without a corresponding increase in vehicle speed, difficulty selecting gears, a high or unusual biting point, clutch judder, vibration or noise when the clutch pedal is pressed.
If you're unsure whether the problem is actually the clutch, contact us before replacing parts unnecessarily.
Does the Dual Mass Flywheel Need Replacing?
Many modern diesel and petrol vehicles use a dual mass flywheel. It does not automatically need replacing every time a clutch is changed.
Once the gearbox is removed we can inspect the flywheel for excessive movement, wear or other signs of failure and advise whether replacement is required.
This avoids replacing an expensive component unnecessarily while also reducing the risk of fitting a new clutch to a badly worn flywheel.
