Mobile Clutch Repair


Simply put, the clutch is the mechanism by which the transfer of rotational power from the engine to the wheels is achieved – in manual vehicles. To allow the vehicle to change speeds or come to a complete stop without turning off the engine, the connection that’s usually present between the wheels and the engine needs to be temporarily severed. It should be clear then, that the functioning of the clutch is vital to the functioning of the car. When you’re beginning to suffer from clutch problems, it might not be immediately obvious what the origin of the issue is, but you will certainly know something isn’t right. Our team can quickly identify what is going on for you.

There are plenty of reasons that the clutch can suffer from problems, and as perhaps the hardest working component in the engine, it shouldn’t be a surprise that these can take place. Every start and stop, every gear change, the clutch is working hard, engaging and disengaging. It is the nature of the clutch that it wears, particularly if the driver of the vehicle routinely ‘rides’ the clutch pedal, or lets it slip too much. Overheating, burning, and oil contamination – amongst other things – can all be concerns in affecting the performance of the clutch.

Clutch Fitting


The clutch is made up of a few different components – think the clutch disk, the pressure plate, the flywheel – and these facets will suffer from varying problems as use of the car continues. Our auto mechanic experts will be able to determine the cause of your problems by discussing with you what you’ve experienced and running diagnostics and tests on the vehicle. Understanding the underlying cause of a mechanical fault is just as important as repairing or replacing the defective component, and at Mobile Mechanic Reading, we have a deep comprehension of these processes when clutch fitting.

Frequently Asked Mobile Clutch Repair Questions

  • Is a clutch replacement costly?

    It is one of the more expensive replacement jobs we do as a mobile mechanic. The exact amount will depend on your vehicle's make and model.

  • How do I know I need to replace my clutch ?

    The first sign of manual clutch failure is usually the clutch pedal feeling spongy, sticking, vibrating or loose when pressed. This could be caused by low fluid levels or air in the hydraulic system, a worn out pressure plate or clutches, or an issue with the slave cylinder. A squeaking or grumbling noise when the clutch pedal is depressed can also indicate that your clutch is starting to fail. You may also find it difficult to accelerate when you rev up the engine but don't seem to get any noticeable power increase. This indicates that something prevents your clutch from engaging properly with the gearbox. Furthermore, you may also experience difficulty shifting gears; this could be a sign of a damaged gearbox synchronizer or an issue inside your transmission.

    Another common symptom of manual clutch failure is a sudden decrease in clutch fluid level. In vehicles with a hydraulic clutch system, you may even notice a puddle of fluid under the car near the gearbox - indicating there’s a leak in your system that needs to be addressed quickly before it gets worse and causes more damage beyond just being unable to shift gears correctly. Bear in mind that if issues like these are left unaddressed, it can lead to further problems in other areas of your car, so book your vehicle to be looked at as soon as possible.

  • What causes damage to a clutch?

    You may have heard the phrase 'a slipping clutch'  -this is a sign that the material of the friction plate has worn out, making it unable to transmit the full engine power through the gearbox to the wheels. As a driver, you may experience slower acceleration when taking your foot off the clutch when shifting gears and smell burning as a result. Slipping clutches are common once wear has occurred and needs to be replaced for your car to run as intended.

    It is important to note that wear on friction plates happens naturally over time, so even if you take good care of your car, it will eventually need to be replaced. General car maintenance tips can help prolong its lifespan, such as avoiding sudden stops, starting from high gears, and not carrying heavy loads in your vehicle. If your clutch shows signs of slipping, please contact us to arrange a replacement; this problem should not be ignored as it will cause more damage to your vehicle in the long term.

  • How long should a clutch last for before replacement?

    The longevity of your car's clutch largely depends on how you drive it. Most clutches will last up to 80,000 miles before needing to be replaced; however, excessive wear can occur more quickly if the car is driven aggressively or improperly. One of the easiest ways to help extend the life of a clutch is to completely remove pressure from the pedal between gear changes and when it is not necessary to press it. This is known as “riding” a clutch, and this can cause rapid wear due to partial disengagement of the clutch components such as the release bearing, pressure plate, and flywheel. If you catch yourself doing this, make a conscious effort to avoid this habit, as it could save you from having an expensive clutch replacement earlier than normal

  • Are there different types of clutch and can your repair them all?

    The majority of vehicles are manufactured with a manual clutch pedal, although semi-automatic cars may not necessarily include this feature - and all-electric vehicles definitely won't. Vehicles of this type typically feature automatic transmissions, allowing gear changes to occur without driver intervention.

    This makes the most common type of clutch the single plate friction clutch, which consists of two surfaces pressed together in order to create a mechanical grip. This kind of clutch can be found in manual vehicles and is typically reliable. Conversely, the wet multi-plate friction clutch is commonly used in motorcycles and semi-automatic cars due to its increased strength compared to the single-plate setup. A dry multi-plate friction clutch is also available and can often be found in high performance motorbikes. Finally, centrifugal and semi-centrifugal clutches are typically found in mopeds, petrol-powered machines such as lawnmowers or chainsaws, and smaller recreational vehicles like scooters.

    As we focus on 4-wheeled vehicles, our repair and replacement service focuses on single plate, wet multiplate and dry multiplate clutches,

  • What does a car clutch do?

    The clutch is crucial for cars with internal combustion engines. It lets drivers choose and switch gears when needed. Pressing the clutch pedal separates the engine from the transmission, making gear changes possible. It also lets the car stop while the engine keeps running. This makes driving safe and smooth.
