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.
Why it’s Important to Book a Clutch Replacement for Your Vauxhall Astra
Your clutch is an incredibly essential part of your car. It is made up of various parts that work in unison to allow your car to drive. Every car has a clutch, even automatic models – it works on a computer rather than a pedal. Without it, your Astra wouldn’t be able to run. Therefore, it is incredibly important to book a Vauxhall Astra clutch replacement as soon as you need one.
We understand that clutch replacement is a big job. That’s why at BookMyGarage you can compare garages and prices to ensure you’re getting the best deal on yours. Just simply enter your registration plate and your postcode to see the best prices near you!

How Often Should I Book a Vauxhall Astra Clutch Replacement?
A clutch's life expectancy differs from car to car, so yours may need replacing anywhere between 60,000 and 100,000 miles. Of course, this isn’t a hard rule – your driving behaviours will have an impact on your clutch’s lifespan. Being stationary in heavy traffic day to day will have a strain on your clutch. If you live in a part of the country that is rather mountainous, you’ll find your clutch will need repairing sooner.
As you begin to approach 60,000 miles, pay attention to your car – is it making any unusual noises or sounds? Has it started doing any of the following things?:
- 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
If the answer is yes, book an appointment at a local garage today.
