Some common issues with clutches are listed below.

• Clutch Juddering

If you are suffering with low frequency vibration the cause of this could be loose or worn engine mountings, misalignment of engine to gearbox, uneven operation of clutch arm, oil contaminated facings, defective pressure plate, defective driven plate, scored or glazed flywheel, worn spigot bearing

• Clutch Slipping

If the engine is accelerating without giving a corresponding increase in vehicle speed, a burning smell, and vehicle will not drive up steep hills. This could be caused by incorrect clutch adjustments, partial seizure of linkage or fouling of pedal preventing the full return of the linkage, worn clutch facings, oil contaminated facings, defective pressure plate and/or broken springs, partially seized mechanism.

• Clutch Dragging

If you have difficulty in engaging first gear from neutral without making noise, a jolt when changing gear with the vehicle in motion, and vehicle moves when pedal is fully depressed. This could be incorrect clutch adjustments or lack of fluid in the hydraulic operating system, worn hydraulic system, oil contaminated facings, defective driven plate, buckled plate or seizure on spines, seized spigot bearing, worn spigot or dual mass flywheel defective.

• Clutch Jumping

If you have a sudden move of the vehicle though the pedal is being gradually released, could be caused by partial seizure of linkage or fouling of pedal preventing the full return of the linkage, uneven operation of the clutch arm, worn hydraulic system, oil contaminated driven plate, misalignment of engine to gearbox, worn spigot bearing.

We also fit concentric slave cylinders:

On modern vehicles it is becoming increasingly common that when a clutch is replaced the concentric slave cylinder (CSC) also requires replacement.

This allows direct hydraulic load to be applied to the clutch through the master cylinder and concentric slave cylinder. As a result providing less pedal pressure, eliminating the potential loss of bearing travel caused by wear commonly associated in traditional linkage or cable type systems.​
