Your 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.

 

About MINI

A British icon since the swinging 1960s, the MINI is a small economy car that was made by the British Motor Corporation from 1959 until 2000 and is now under the umbrella of BMW. The transverse engine front-wheel drive layout influenced a generation of car makers and allowed 80 per cent of the car’s floorplan to be used for passengers and luggage - that’s a lot of space!

In 1999, the MINI was voted the second most influential car of the 20th century, behind the Ford Model T, and ahead of the Citroën DS and Volkswagen Beetle. The performance versions, the MINI Cooper and Cooper "S," were successful as rally cars, winning the Monte Carlo Rally in 1964, 1965 and 1967. The British manufacturer now offers a selection of nine cars across a broad spectrum of vehicle choices, from the traditional three-door hatchback to the more radical Coupe, Countryman, and Paceman. It also developed a range of frugal engines, both petrol and diesel, to reduce running costs.

How Often Should I Book A Clutch Replacement?

A clutches lifespan differs from car to car. The clutch on your MINI will need replacing anywhere between 60,000 and 100,000 miles. Of course, this isn’t a hard rule – your driving habits will have an impact on your clutch’s lifespan. If you live in a part of the country that is quite hilly, you’ll find your clutch will need repairing sooner. Sitting in lots of heavy traffic regularly will also have a strain on your clutch.

As you begin to approach 60,000 miles, pay attention to your car – is it making any unusual noises or sounds? Is it becoming increasingly difficult to change gears? If the answer is yes, it might be time to get your MINI clutch replacement booked in today.

FAQs

Frequently asked questions

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.

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 Often Should I Book a Clutch Replacement?

With proper maintenance, a clutch can last you 60,000 miles on average. This means taking care of the clutch, and avoiding holding it at biting point for prolonged periods of time.

Book your clutch replacement near you at the recommended interval, or if you begin to notice any of these warning signs:
• Changing gears is becoming more difficult
• You can hear unusual noises from the clutch, like shrieking or grinding
• You can smell burning from the clutch
• Your biting point has become higher than normal

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 must remove a lot of parts to access the clutch.
