Clutch Repair FAQs
How long do clutches last?
Clutch life varies greatly depending on driving style and conditions. In urban driving with lots of stop-start traffic, clutches may last 60,000–100,000 km. Gentle highway driving can extend this significantly. Aggressive driving or towing heavy loads shortens clutch life.
Is a slipping clutch dangerous?
A slipping clutch means the drive from the engine is not being fully transmitted to the gearbox. This reduces your ability to accelerate effectively, particularly when merging or overtaking. While not immediately dangerous in mild cases, a severely slipping clutch should be inspected promptly.
What is included in a clutch replacement?
A clutch kit typically includes the clutch plate (friction disc), pressure plate, and release bearing. We also inspect the flywheel and replace it if required. A full clutch job is labour-intensive, so using quality components is important to avoid repeating the work prematurely.
Can you adjust a clutch instead of replacing it?
Some older vehicles have adjustable clutch cables that can be adjusted to restore pedal feel. Modern vehicles use hydraulic clutch systems which are not adjustable in the same way. If the clutch plate is worn, replacement is required.
