Clutch issues can develop over time from everyday wear, driving habits or mechanical faults. You might notice slipping under load, difficulty shifting gears, shuddering or a burning smell during driving. In manual vehicles, the clutch takes on constant friction, so worn linings, stretched cables or air in the hydraulic system are common problems. Driving in traffic or towing heavy loads can speed up wear, especially if the clutch isn’t fully disengaging.
Getting your clutch checked early helps prevent additional damage to the gearbox or flywheel. Regular servicing keeps everything working smoothly and ensures you’re always in control on the road.
