As you pile on the miles the friction material on the clutch disc can start to wear, the flywheel can become warped or cracked, and all kinds of outside contaminants can get inside the clutch system.
There are a number of different things that can go wrong with your clutch but some of the common problems can help you know what you’re getting into.
Common Clutch Problems
- Gear Slippage – this is one of the most common problems drivers experience. If the clutch isn’t firmly in place when you release the pedal then go ahead and bring it in to Keller Neighborhood Auto Service. Even if it’s slipping just a little, odds are it will gradually get worse. Many drivers notice this issue while driving at low speeds in a high gear.
- Pedal won’t release – if the pedal won’t come back up once you’ve released it with your foot it could be a number of different problems with your clutch system. Bringing your car in sooner than later will help prevent a serious problem down the line.
- Chattering or other unusual noises – this can be caused by a warped or loose flywheel. It could also be caused by a number of different worn down or damaged components.
