Does my clutch need to be repaired?
A clutch in a standard (manual) transmission scenario helps transfer the power from the motor through the transmission and eventually to the wheels to propel the vehicle. Like any part of the vehicle’s drive train system the clutch has components that can and do wear out over time. The clutch can be repaired and serviced and brought back to near new operationally by a qualified service technician.
The Cost of your Clutch Repair is dependent upon the make and model of your car or truck and the condition of the clutch. Vehicles with front wheel drive typically cost quite a bit more than other vehicles to repair because they are so labor intensive.
At Mr. Transmission we will discuss the costs with you so you understand exactly what the quote covers.
The average clutch repair price runs from $350 to $1800
What’s Included in the Clutch Repair Cost?
Your clutch will be diagnosed and the repair may include the clutch disc, flywheel, pilot bearing, pressure plate and throw out bearing. These parts will all be inspected.
Signs your clutch may be going out
Your dad always told you… “Don’t ride the clutch or you’ll wear it out” but how do you know if your clutch is going out? The wear on your clutch is highly dependent on the way you drive and where you drive. Clutches can last anywhere from 20,000 to 150,000 miles so there really is no way to know when yours might go out.
