Over the years we’ve seen all manner of clutch problems and have the knowledge, expertise and technical ability to quickly get your clutch repaired and your car back on the road in next to no time. But are there tips on how to reduce wear and avoid an early Clutch Replacement?

Yes there are! Below are four tips from one of our Temby Auto Service mechanics on how to avoid needing a clutch replacement sooner than is necessary:

1. Don't ride the clutch (i.e. don't keep the clutch pedal pressed down slightly whilst you drive).

2. Sit in neutral when stopped for any length of time.

3. Always use the handbrake when parking

4. Change gears quickly (be decisive about which gear you need to change to and don't linger along the way).

Doing these things will help your clutch stay in top condition for as long as possible and help you avoid unnecessary car maintenance! As with most things automotive, the best way to maintain the various components of your car is with a regular car service with a reputable mechanic such as the team at Temby Auto Service.
