Clutches in Nottingham

Located near Wilford and easily reached from Beeston, Wollaton and central Nottingham, Repair My Car have a team of expert technicians ready and waiting to help you and your vehicle.

Here are a few of our tips to prolong the life of your car's clutch:

• Don’t rest your foot on the clutch pedal while driving; you will take up the slack between thrust and release bearings and wear them out
• Don’t leave the car in gear with your foot on the clutch at traffic lights for the same reason
• Don’t hold the car on a hill by slipping the clutch for longer than absolutely necessary when doing a hill-start. You will wear out the friction surface
• Release the handbrake gradually with your thumb on the release button as you lift the clutch and press the accelerator
• Don’t slip clutches deliberately to avoid changing gear
• Make sure that there is a little free play in the pedal movement before you start to feel the weight; if there is no slack you may need to adjust the cable housing or the clutch rod
• If you have hydraulic clutch control, make sure the reservoir is as well topped up as that for the brake system.
