How Does a Clutch Work?

Your car's clutch works by connecting your car's two rotating shafts, allowing for three things to happen: the shafts lock together to spin at the same speed, the shafts slip by a controlled amount when the pedal is partially depressed or the shafts decouple so they spin at different speeds.

Pushing the pedal on the left with your foot releases pressure on the clutch disc, allowing it to move freely. It also activates the pressure plate which starts exerting pressure on the clutch disc.

The pressure plate is mounted to the flywheel, which then rotates to help the clutch disc and pressure plate engage and keeps the momentum of the engine when the clutch is disengaged (as your engine spins all the time but your wheels don't - so to speed up, slow down or stop without killing the engine, the two need to be disconnected). In turn, this creates friction and transfers power from the engine to the gearbox. In manual cars, the driver can then use the gearstick to change gears.

When the clutch pedal is released, power will be transferred from the engine to the gearbox and wheels, propelling the vehicle forward.

Warning Signs to Look For

The clutch in your car plays a vital role in transferring power from the engine to the wheels - so it's important you have it checked at the first sign of trouble.

Worried about your car's clutch? The following warning signs could indicate that it's time for a replacement:

• The clutch sticks, feels spongy or vibrates when you press it

• Difficulty changing gears

• A grinding or squealing noise from the clutch

• A burning smell from the clutch

• A higher biting point that normal

• Poor acceleration

• The clutch is slipping

As a rough guide, a sticky pedal or trouble finding the right gear can sometimes be put right with a smaller repair, but a slipping clutch or a burning smell almost always means the clutch itself needs replacing. If you're not sure which applies to your car, your chosen garage can take a proper look before any work begins.

Noticed any of these warning signs? Acting early can help you avoid more serious problems later down the line.

What Causes Clutch Wear and Tear?

Your car’s clutch can wear out for several reasons:

• Continuous usage

• Aggressive driving habits

• Poor shifting technique

• Contamination in the clutch system

• Faulty hydraulic system

So driving gently and investing in regular maintenance can make all the difference for your car's clutch.
