Why Is a Clutch Replacement So Expensive?
During a clutch replacement, the mechanic will:
- Remove the transmission
- Disassemble the clutch system
- Replace any worn components
The complexity of the manual transmission system combined with the labour-intensive installation and quality materials required make a clutch replacement an expensive job.
Even so, it's an essential replacement if you want to maintain your car's health.
Does My Clutch Need to Be Replaced?
If you've noticed any of the following problems, then your clutch may need to be replaced:
- The clutch is slipping
- The pedal stays on the floor
- Spongy clutch
- Difficulty shifting gears
- Loose clutch pedal when pressed
- Squeaking or grumbling noises
- Can rev the engine, but acceleration is poor
Clutch problems can often be mistaken for gearbox problems, so be sure to ask a mechanic for further advice if you aren't sure which part is causing issues.
Not only can a damaged clutch impact your driving experience now, it can also contribute to the depreciation in the value of your vehicle in the long run.
If you have the clutch professionally repaired or replaced - and have the records to prove it - then you may be able to reduce the impact on your car's value in the event you want to sell in the future.
