Clutches

Clutch Replacement at GS Carcare

In theory, a vehicle’s clutch should last forever — but in reality, they don’t. Every driver has a slightly different driving style, and over time, some clutches simply wear out and need replacing.

While a worn clutch won’t damage your engine, it can cause over-revving and reduce the amount of power transferred to your drive wheels. The result? Poor fuel efficiency, sluggish performance, and eventually, when the clutch finally fails — you won’t be going anywhere!

Customer Testimonials

Top Tip from GS Carcare

To help your clutch last longer, try to avoid resting your foot on the clutch pedal while driving, even lightly. This constant pressure can cause unnecessary wear on the clutch plate and release bearing.

When you’re stopped at traffic lights or in a queue, put the car in neutral and release the clutch pedal rather than holding it down. This small habit can significantly extend the life of your clutch and save you money on premature replacements.
