Should I Book a Flywheel & Clutch Replacement at the Same Time?

Quite often, your car will need a flywheel replacement at the same time as a clutch change. As a result, flywheel failure includes many of the same symptoms as a faulty clutch. You should book a flywheel and clutch replacement at the same time if you notice:

• Your gears slipping
• A burning smell
• Clutch 'chatter' (the clutch stutters when disengaging)
• Vibrations in the clutch pedal
• Clutch 'drag' (not fully releasing)

What Does the Flywheel Do?

The flywheel disc connects to the crankshaft and rotates to generate energy. It then stores that energy for use at a later date. When your engine struggles to provide enough torque to keep the car moving, the flywheel will use its stored energy to take over. Your flywheel also ensures that your gears are working properly as you use the clutch.

FAQs

How Does the Clutch Work?

A clutch maintains the connection between your gearbox and your engine. When you depress the clutch pedal, two metal plates come apart and separate the engine from the drive wheels, allowing you to change gear. Bringing the pedal back up re-engages the plates and reconnects the engine to the drive wheels.

Any problems with your clutch can lead to a lack of control while driving. If you notice this, you should book a clutch replacement as soon as possible. Otherwise, your car will be at an increased accident risk.

When Should I Book a Clutch Replacement?

You should book a clutch replacement every 60,000 miles, on average. If you drive carefully and look after this assembly, it can even last longer than this. Conversely, aggressive use of the clutch will shorten the lifespan. This includes holding the clutch at the biting point for too long and 'riding' the clutch while driving downhill.

You should book a clutch replacement near you at the recommended interval or whenever you notice any of the following warning signs:

• You struggle to change gear
• Your car won't engage gear
• The clutch makes a grinding, squealing, shrieking or other bad noise
• You can smell burning from the clutch
• Your biting point has become higher than normal

What Happens During a Clutch Replacement?

During a clutch change, a mechanic will first inspect your clutch and gearbox condition. This helps them make sure the clutch is to blame before beginning an unnecessary repair. Then, they will unhook the battery and disconnect the clutch and/or hydraulic slave cylinder before stabilising the engine.

Next, they will unbolt the pressure plate, check for any leaks and damage and then clean everything and replace as many parts as necessary. Once they have rebuilt the front end of your car, they will test the clutch to ensure they’ve fixed your problem.

How Much Does a Clutch Replacement Cost?

The average UK clutch kit costs £325, but a full clutch replacement can cost up to £1,000. The clutch replacement cost is so high because of the amount of labour it takes to replace a clutch assembly.

How Long Does a Clutch Change Take?

A clutch replacement usually takes between 3 and 5 hours, but can take up to 10 hours to complete. It is buried deep within the engine bay, so a mechanic usually has to remove a lot of parts to access the clutch.
