The clutch connects and disconnects the engine from the gearbox so you can pull away smoothly and change gears. A clutch kit usually includes the clutch plate, pressure plate and release bearing. Towing, heavy loads, sand driving and stop-start town traffic all shorten clutch life, which is why bakkie clutches in the Northern Cape often need attention earlier than expected.
Signs your clutch is wearing out
- Engine revs rise but the vehicle does not speed up (slipping)
- A burning smell after pulling away or climbing hills
- The clutch engages very high on the pedal
- Grinding or difficulty selecting gears
- Shuddering when pulling away
- Noise that changes when you press the clutch pedal
