| The normal clutch repair job starts when your
vehicle stops. Most people drive their car until it won't go anymore.
That is a pretty good
indication that something needs attention.
A clutch is a wear item. Just like car
tires, they wear out. They have to. As you let out your clutch, you are
rubbing the clutch disk surfaces between the flywheel and the pressure
plate until the car starts to move, and then locks up when you let the
auto clutch out completely.
A tremendous amount of heat is generated in the clutch, pressure
plate, and auto flywheel repair. This happens each time you start moving
and to a lesser degree, when you shift. As time goes by, you will
eventually wear the friction surface thinner, and it will get to a point
where it is too thin to transmit enough torque to move the car
normally.
When your
neighbors think you are burning your trash in your trunk, your wife
won't let you park in the garage. The clutch is may be slipping that may
be the time to call Kohout's
to find out.
