What Does a Clutch Do?
The clutch is what connects and disconnects the engine from the transmission so you can shift gears without grinding or stalling. While your engine runs constantly when the car is on, your wheels don’t—and that’s where the clutch steps in. It temporarily disengages the drivetrain so you can safely change gears.
Common Clutch Issues
Like brake pads or tires, clutch components wear out over time—especially with city driving, towing, or aggressive shifting. Common clutch problems include:
- Worn-out clutch disc
- Slipping clutch
- Soft or spongy clutch pedal
- Difficulty shifting gears
- Noisy or grinding sounds during shifts
- Leaks in the hydraulic clutch system
- Air bubbles or contamination in hydraulic lines
