Often clutch problems dictate, in Ashton-under-Lyne, a clutch replacement. This should be attended to as soon as possible, otherwise you could face an inconvenient breakdown as well as safety risks. The clutch is the part that separates the engine from the wheels and helps you to change gears and stop while the engine is still running. It consists of the clutch plate, flywheel and pressure plate. In general, the clutch is designed to last for between 80,000-150,000 km, depending on the driving conditions, terrain, and usage. If you feel the clutch is not smooth, that it sticks or if you hear grinding noises when you press it, these are warning signs. Other symptoms include poor acceleration though the engine seems to rev, a slipping clutch, and problems with changing the car’s gears.
