The Importance of Maintaining a Clutch There are many benefits to maintaining the clutch of a car and understanding these can help to reinforce the importance of this. The clutch within a vehicle is the mechanical device which both engages and disengages the power transmission of a car. They connect and disconnect two rotating drive shafts which allow the car to change gear and move. The clutch of a car enables you to hold the car in one place, control the vehicle on a hill, move it forwards or backwards, and change gears. Clutches last for a varying amount of time but should at the very least last anywhere between 50,000 and 100,000 miles. If you do a lot of city driving where you are constantly stopping and starting, then your clutch may wear out faster.
Over time the clutch can become worn and may need to be repaired or replaced. Some of the signs that you can look out for include hearing a squeaky or grumbling noise when pressing the clutch, having difficulty shifting gear, being able to rev the engine but not accelerate much, and experiencing slipping clutch where you lose momentary control of acceleration. Other common experiences are the clutch feeling spongy, sticky, vibrating, or loose.
You can reduce clutch wear by doing a few simple things. Keeping your foot down on the clutch pedal at traffic lights can wear the fitting, so putting your car into neutral can help to keep it healthy. Engaging and disengaging the clutch gently creates less friction on the disc, making it less likely to slip and cause damage.
