Whether your clutch is slipping, sticking or simply worn out, our technicians will diagnose the fault and get you safely back on the road. If a clutch problem appears during your car service, we can fix it without trouble. We work with all makes and models, using OE-quality or manufacturer-approved components to ensure long-term reliability.

Signs You May Need A New Clutch

Your clutch plays a critical role in how your vehicle drives, and early signs of failure should not be ignored. If you are noticing any of the following, it is time to book a clutch inspection:

  • Difficulty changing gears
  • Juddering or vibration when pulling away
  • A burning smell from the engine bay
  • High revs without corresponding acceleration
  • A heavy or unresponsive clutch pedal

These symptoms can point to wear on the clutch plate, release bearing or flywheel. Left unchecked, they may lead to more costly transmission damage.

Remember, the clutch is not typically inspected during your annual MOT test, so it’s important to bring your car to our garage promptly if you suspect there’s an issue.

What Does A Clutch Replacement Involve?

Clutch replacement is a technical job that requires specialist knowledge and equipment. At Avon Auto Clinic, we start by inspecting the clutch system and diagnosing any underlying issues. Once confirmed, our team will remove the gearbox, replace the clutch plate, pressure plate and release bearing, and inspect the dual mass flywheel for wear. If needed, we will fit a new flywheel too. The job is completed with reassembly, system adjustment and a full road test.

Common Clutch Problems We Fix

Clutch systems are made up of several interdependent components, and wear in one part can lead to wider issues affecting drivability and safety. At Avon Auto Clinic, we diagnose and repair all types of clutch faults, from minor fluid leaks to full clutch and flywheel replacements.

Some of the most common issues we resolve include:

  • Worn clutch plates and slipping under load
  • Clutch drag or difficulty engaging gears
  • Hydraulic leaks or low clutch fluid
  • Faulty cable-operated clutch mechanisms
  • Dual mass flywheel imbalance or failure

We use advanced diagnostic tools to identify the exact cause of clutch issues and only install high-quality replacement parts that meet or exceed manufacturer standards. Every repair is completed by trained technicians and backed by our commitment to reliable, road-safe service.

The cost of clutch repair depends on your vehicle and whether components like the dual mass flywheel also need replacement.

  • Standard clutch replacements typically start from £350
  • Dual mass flywheel replacements usually cost between £200 and £400

We will always provide a clear, fixed quote before beginning any work so there are no unexpected costs.

In most cases, clutch replacements take between 3 to 5 hours, depending on the make and model of your vehicle and whether the flywheel is also being replaced. We aim to complete the job on the same day and will confirm timings when you book your vehicle in.
Driving with a slipping or worn clutch is not recommended. It can lead to further damage to your gearbox or flywheel and may eventually prevent you from driving the vehicle altogether. If you are noticing gear issues, strange smells or clutch slippage, it is best to get it inspected as soon as possible.
