Most people know the obvious symptoms of clutch failure, which include slip, judder, and harshness of operation. Difficulty when trying to engage first gear or reverse usually indicates clutch (not gearbox issues). Dragging Clutches will be hard to engage or disengage gears. Most Clutches are now operated by hydraulic slaves or concentric cairn bearings, so any adjustment is extremely limited. It’s fair to say if it’s slipping it will need changing.

Dual Mass Flywheel Replacement
Dual mass flywheels are one of the more expensive drive train components to replace when compared to a conventional 3-part clutch kit. The role of the dual mass is to reduce torsional vibration and in theory offers a smoother drive when it comes to changing gear. The dual mass absorbs rotational vibration as the centre part can move slightly in either direction or is dampened. When worn they can give an audible rattle and you may feel some harshness in operation.
- A superior quality dual mass flywheel replacement kit ranges from £100 -£500 +Vat
