Clutch repair/replacement

A Plus transmission staff is fully trained to handle any clutch repair and clutch diagnosis needs. We will perform a Clutch Performance Diagnosis and adjustment service FREE of Charge.

A clutch is a mechanism for transmitting rotation, which can be engaged and disengaged. The clutch connects the two shafts so that they can either be locked together and spin at the same speed (engaged), or be decoupled and spin at different speeds (disengaged).

In a car clutch, a flywheel connects to the engine and a clutch plate connects to the transmission. When your foot is off the pedal, the springs push the pressure plate against the clutch disc, which in turn presses against the flywheel. This locks the engine to the transmission input shaft, causing them to spin at the same speed. There are different designs of vehicle clutch, but most are based on one or more friction discs, pressed tightly together or against a flywheel using springs. The friction material varies in composition. Clutches found in heavy duty applications such as trucks and competition cars use ceramic clutches that have a greatly increased friction coefficient. However, these have a "grabby" action and are unsuitable for road cars.
