European Auto Clutch Maintenance & Repairs for Atlanta Area Drivers
Clutches are present in both a manual and automatic transmission. The clutch is responsible for transferring the power of the engine to the components that power your wheels to turn. Between these are gears that change as you accelerate and decelerate. By engaging the clutch, this allows the gears to shift up or down to generate more rotation to the wheels through the transmission. This also occurs in an automatic transmission, but the car is designed to make these shifts in gears for you.
When your vehicle’s clutch begins to have problems, it is important to know the warning signs, so you can have it promptly serviced. Without a working clutch, your car cannot move, and you could be left stranded and in need of a tow.
Typical Signs of Clutch Failure
The most noticeable first sign of a clutch that is beginning to break down is gear slipping. This can be felt when your car doesn’t seem to accelerate on demand even though your engine is revving and working properly. The clutch may not be able to engage a higher gear, so it’s not able to move the wheels faster.
- 01 a soft or spongy pedal
- 02 the pedal may feel sticky or it may stuck on the floorboard
- 03 the clutch pedal may pulsate or vibrate when you try to accelerate
- 04 the gear shifts become jerky, even in an automatic transmission
- 05 there may be a burning smell from your transmission as the wrong gears heat up
- 06 you may hear grinding noises in a manual or automatic transmission when shifting
