How Much Is It to Replace A Clutch?
A clutch replacement can cost from $500 to $1200, but it largely depends on the make and model of the car. For 4WD’s, performance vehicles and other exotic cars, the cost of a clutch can be approximately $900 to $2000. With a replacement the largest cost is labour as it can take a while to disassemble all the clutch components and replace it. However, as clutches are reasonably sturdy, you’ll only need to replace one about every 200,000 kilometres, which equates to roughly once over the lifetime of the car.
If you have recently purchased a car that is nearing this limit, it could be a good idea to get the car booked in for a clutch service to check that everything is working as it should. This will give you a good idea of how much time the clutch has left before it needs a total replacement. By booking in with Lube Mobile we can come to you and provide an overall clutch service, so you’ll have a good idea on the health of your vehicle. This can also be the perfect time to get a car service completed.
When to Change the Clutch Plate of a Car?
The signs that you need a clutch replacement are a spongy feel when you push in the pedals, or the gears grinding and not changing smoothly. Other signs of a clutch that is ‘about to go’, are when you have trouble changing gears, or the clutch pedal feels like it is shaking and shuddering.
A clutch can wear faster based on the person driving, if you tend to drop or ride the clutch, you will wear it out faster. If your gear changing often results in grinding the gears, the clutch and gears will wear faster than normal. By changing the style of your driving, you can make the clutch last longer, and therefore it will be longer between repairs.
If you are experiencing any of these symptoms you should have it checked out by a professional. Any problems with a clutch should be fixed early before a full failure happens and you are stranded on the side of the road. In most cases the clutch will deteriorate slowly, and you have plenty of notice that something is going wrong. You can book in with Lube Mobile and we can visit your vehicle onsite to check the clutch over and provide you with recommendations for your clutch repair.
