Signs your clutch needs attention

  • Shuddering or juddering as you pull away

  • A high, spongy, or stiff biting point
  • The clutch pedal sticks to the floor
  • A burning smell after hills or heavy traffic
What we do

We diagnose the fault first, then remove the gearbox, inspect the clutch and flywheel, and replace the clutch plate, pressure plate and release bearing. We machine or replace the flywheel if it needs it, and road-test the car before you collect it. Because we supply clutch parts direct to the trade, we've usually got the right part on hand, so you're not waiting days for stock or paying a marked-up price.

How much does it cost?

Every vehicle is different, so we don't quote a flat price, a clutch on a small hatch is a very different job from one on a ute or a European car. The cost comes down to your vehicle, the parts it needs, and whether the flywheel needs machining. We give you a clear, no-obligation quote before any work starts. Ask us and we'll tell you exactly what your clutch will cost.

Common questions
How long does a clutch replacement take?
It depends on your vehicle and what the job involves. We'll give you a realistic timeframe when we quote, before any work starts.
Do you supply the clutch as well as fit it?
Yes, we're a parts supplier first, with direct trade links, so the part's usually on hand and fairly priced.
Will you replace only what's worn?
We replace what needs replacing and tell you why. We don't sell you parts you don't need.
Can I keep driving with a slipping clutch?
It's best not to. A slipping clutch gets worse and can damage other parts, which makes the repair bigger. Get it looked at early.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes, we stand behind our workmanship and the parts we fit. We'll go over the warranty for your job when we quote it.
