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.
When Should I Book a Clutch Replacement?
A clutch should last 60,000 miles on average. If you drive carefully and look after the clutch, it can last much longer than this. Conversely, holding the clutch at the biting point for too long will wear it out quicker.
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 inspect your clutch and gearbox condition to ensure the clutch is to blame before beginning the 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 you can face a £1,000 bill for a full clutch replacement. You can save up to 70% on your clutch replacement by comparing deals from thousands of local garages through BookMyGarage.
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.

Flywheel Replacement
A flywheel is a disc that connects to the crankshaft and rotates to generate energy, storing 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.
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 replacement 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)
The average dual mass flywheel replacement cost in the UK ranges from £750 to £1,500.
Driving in Portsmouth
This waterfront city in Hampshire is the most densely populated city in the UK. This means that traffic can build at Portsmouth’s rush hour, but that it’s also packed with things to do and see for all ages.
Tourists are drawn to the area for its proximity to the sea, but Portsmouth’s naval history is also a prominent feature with numerous related attractions, such as The Historic Dockyard, the D-Day Museum, the Royal Naval Museum, and the Royal Marines Museum. A number of iconic ships adorn the dockyard such as the HMS Victory, the HMS Warrior and Henry VIII’s Tudor warship the Mary Rose. For those who can handle heights, there are marvellous views from the observation deck of the Spinnaker Tower, a sweep of glass and steel shaped like a sail, which lays claim to being Britain's tallest tower outside London.
Portsmouth has a prestigious literary history and is the birthplace of many celebrated authors from Sir Arthur Conan Doyle to Michelle Magorian, H.G. Wells to Neil Gaiman and most notably, Charles Dickens. The modest house in Old Commercial Road was his former abode and has been restyled to resemble the original Dickens family home.
