Warning signs
Signs your clutch or gearbox needs work
Slipping clutch
Engine revs rise but the car doesn't accelerate — the clutch disc is worn and slipping under load.
High biting point
If the clutch only bites near the top of the pedal travel, the friction material is running thin.
Grinding when changing gear
Often a worn synchromesh or a clutch that isn't fully disengaging. Needs investigation before it worsens.
Judder on take-off
A shudder when pulling away smoothly usually points to a contaminated or worn clutch plate.
Common questions
Frequently asked questions
How do I know if my clutch is worn?
Symptoms include the clutch biting very high or very low in its travel, slipping under acceleration (revs rise without speed increasing), a burning smell, or difficulty selecting gears smoothly.
How long does a clutch replacement take?
Most clutch replacements take 3–5 hours depending on the vehicle and drivetrain layout. We'll give you an accurate time estimate when you book.
Is clutch wear covered by manufacturer warranty?
Clutches are classified as wear-and-tear items and are not covered under most manufacturer warranties. Our replacement parts come with their own warranty.
Do you work on automatic gearboxes?
Yes. We service and repair both manual and automatic gearboxes, including diagnosing hesitation, slipping, delayed engagement, and gearbox warning lights.
