Clutch diagnosis and gearbox repairs

Q: How long should a clutch last?

There is no fixed mileage. Vehicle type, driving style, load and journey pattern all affect wear.

Q: Does a clutch replacement always need a new flywheel?

No. The flywheel must be inspected and measured. Replacement depends on its type and condition.

Q: Can gearbox oil fix difficult shifting?

Correct oil condition and level matter, but difficult selection can also come from the clutch, linkage, hydraulics or internal wear.

Q: Do you repair automatic gearboxes?

This page focuses on clutch and manual gearbox repairs. For automatic gearbox concerns, call the workshop with the vehicle details so we can advise whether we can help or recommend a suitable specialist.

Difficulty selecting gears, clutch slip, vibration and transmission noise can come from the clutch, flywheel, hydraulic system, linkage or gearbox. MotorSector diagnoses the cause before recommending a repair.
