Frequently Asked Questions

  • What are the signs of a failing clutch?

    Common signs of a failing clutch include difficulty shifting gears, a spongy or sticking clutch pedal, a burning smell, vibrations when changing gears or a noticeable slipping sensation under acceleration. You might also hear grinding or squealing noises when engaging the clutch or notice the engine revving without a corresponding increase in speed. These symptoms can point to worn clutch plates, a faulty pressure plate, a failing release bearing or problems with the hydraulic system. It's important to have any of these issues checked early, as continued driving with a bad clutch can cause further damage and lead to a more expensive repair.

  • How long should a clutch last?

    The lifespan of a clutch varies depending on driving habits, vehicle type and the conditions it’s driven in. On average, a clutch can last anywhere between 80,000 to 150,000 kilometres. If you do a lot of city driving with frequent stopping and starting, or if you tow heavy loads, your clutch may wear out more quickly. Drivers who “ride the clutch” or use poor gear-shifting techniques can also experience premature clutch wear. Regular servicing and good driving habits—like not resting your foot on the clutch pedal—can help extend its life.

  • How much does it cost to repair or replace a clutch?

    Clutch repair or replacement costs can vary widely based on the make and model of the vehicle, the type of clutch system (hydraulic vs. cable), and the extent of the damage. Basic clutch replacements can start from a few hundred dollars, while more complex jobs involving the flywheel or dual-mass systems may cost significantly more. Labour costs also play a big role, especially since accessing the clutch usually requires removing the gearbox. For a specific quote, it’s best to have your car inspected so a technician can determine the condition of the entire clutch system.
