CLUTCH REPAIR IN FALLS CHURCH, VA

NEED A NEW CLUTCH? — AUTO STOP FALLS CHURCH

Clutch Repair Symptoms For Your Manual Transmission

For manual transmission owners, they utilize a clutch that helps shift gears and provide the proper power to help accelerate and navigate hills and uneven terrain. The clutch should be inspected around every 50,000 miles, ideally before you have a major repair need. This might include broken or stretched clutch cables, air in the hydraulic line, misaligned linkage, or leaking fluids elsewhere in the vehicle that are compromising the clutch. If you notce that your vehicle’s clutch is in need of service, stop by Auto Stop Falls Church for a clutch repair if you’re experiencing any of the symptoms below:

  • If you can no longer activate your clutch pedal with ease, or if feels like your pedal is sticking. This could be a gradual or rapid change.
  • If your clutch has started slipping out of gear, then your clutch is damaged.
  • If your clutch pedal is vibrating, particularly lifting your foot off the clutch.
  • If you notice a burning paper smell when shifting gears. This typically does not apply if you are a new to manual transmission, as you are still learning how to shift gears properly, but it doesn’t hurt to have it checked.

How Does My Clutch Work?

Your clutch works with your manual transmission to shift between gears and manually control your performance. Automatic transmissions have a clutch as well, but it works a bit differently.
