Clutch Service
Is your car a stick shift or known as a manual or standard transmission? The components of these transmissions require regular servicing. The clutch assembly connects the engine to your vehicle's transmission. The "clutch" is comprised of several components and demands an experienced Technician to install properly. Starting at the engine and working backward the clutch assembly consists of the pilot bearing, flywheel, friction plate, pressure plate, throw-out bearing, clutch fork, slave cylinder and master cylinder. The flywheel, friction plate and pressure wear over time much in the same way that brake rotors and pads wear. Each time you press the clutch pedal, these components wear. Friction material on the friction plate, the pressure plate surface and the flywheel surface are the wear points of a clutch assembly. The pressure plate is comprised of springs that will lose their clamping power over time, which may allow the clutch to slip when under heavy load. The pilot and throw-out bearing may start making rotating noise a which indicates they are ready to be replaced. With the trend of people keeping their vehicles longer and longer, you will need to replace the clutch assembly as some point.
