Your clutch works hard every time you change gear, and over time, wear and tear is inevitable. But did you know that certain driving habits can speed up the process?
⚙️ Riding the clutch – Resting your foot on the pedal while driving can cause unnecessary wear.
🚦 Stop-start traffic – Constantly engaging and disengaging the clutch puts extra strain on its components.
🚗 Holding the car on a hill using the clutch – This can generate excessive heat and wear.
🔥 Aggressive driving – Harsh starts and excessive slipping can shorten the life of your clutch.
Signs your clutch might be on its way out?
You might notice slipping when accelerating, difficulty changing gears, a burning smell or a change in how the clutch pedal feels.
