Professional Clutch Replacement
Clutch Replacement Cost?
A clutch replacement can cost between $800 and $2,000, depending largely on the make and model of the car. For 4WDs & performance vehicles, and other exotic cars, the cost can range from $900 to $3,000. The largest expense in a clutch replacement is typically labor, as disassembling and replacing all the clutch components is time-consuming. However, clutches are generally sturdy and only need replacement approximately every 250,000 kilometers, roughly once over the car’s lifetime.
If you recently purchased a car nearing this mileage, booking a clutch service is a good idea to ensure everything works properly. This will show you how long the clutch will last before needing a full replacement. By booking with Advanced Auto, we can come to you and provide a comprehensive clutch service, giving you a clear picture of your vehicle’s health. This is also an ideal time to complete a full car service.
How Does a Clutch Work?
- The clutch system in a car transmits power from the engine to the transmission, allowing for smooth gear changes and controlling the vehicle’s speed. Over time, the clutch may wear out, leading to issues such as slipping or difficulty shifting gears. It’s important to get your clutch inspected and replaced by professionals to ensure optimal vehicle performance.
- Power Transmission: The clutch engages and disengages the engine from the transmission, allowing the driver to shift gears smoothly and control the power transfer to the wheels.
- Friction Control: The clutch uses friction between the clutch disc and the flywheel to transmit power. The friction is released when the clutch pedal is pressed, allowing for gear changes.
- Wear and Tear: Over time, friction and heat may wear out the clutch components, leading to issues such as slipping or sticking. Regular maintenance and timely replacement can help prolong the life of your clutch.
