Your transmission’s clutch is considered a wear part; which means it is expected to eventually wear down. Now, we like to avoid replacing the clutch when possible and opt for repairing and servicing the clutch. That said, there are plenty of times when it makes more economical sense to replace your clutch. And when it comes to transmissions services in Frederick, Ken’s Automotive & Transmissions is here to help.
Without years of experience, the vibrations, noises, and other uncommon things your car is doing can be hard to diagnose. So determining if your clutch is in need of replacement is best left to your Frederick, MD clutch repair service. But to help you in identifying what could be the issues, here are the most common signs your clutch is going bad:
Your clutch can go bad after normal driving conditions at any point after about 35,000 miles. We commonly see people with clutch issues at around 60,000 miles but it all depends. For example, a truck which is commonly used for towing a camper or some other large load could be in the shop as early as 35,000 miles with a clutch issue. So, as a general rule of thumb, we tell people clutches can last on average 60,000 miles for the average driver; with newer vehicle clutches lasting upwards of 100,000 miles.
So, if your vehicle’s clutch is nearing the end of its life, and is not repairable, it’s best to consider a Frederick, MD clutch replacement.
