Clutch Repair in Daphne, AL

Signs your clutch is wearing out

• Engine revs climb but the car doesn’t speed up (slipping)
• The clutch grabs very high in the pedal travel
• Grinding when you shift
• A pedal that’s soft, sticks or goes to the floor
• A burning smell after hills or stop-and-go traffic
• Shudder when you pull away from a stop

What a clutch job covers

A clutch replacement usually means a new clutch disc, pressure plate and release (throwout) bearing, with the flywheel checked and replaced if it’s worn.

It might not be the clutch itself. A soft or sticking pedal can come from the hydraulic system, the master or slave cylinder, which is a much smaller repair. We’ll tell you which one you’re dealing with before any work starts.
