Question 1

What does a clutch do? And what is a clutch kit?

Accepted Answer

The clutch is a solid metal disc that couples the crankshaft and flywheel to the gearbox’s clutch shaft. The clutch is located between the engine and transmission to temporarily disconnect the engine drive from the gearbox.A clutch kit usually contains all the elements to replace and rejuvenate your clutch and its performance: usually a clutch disc, pressure plate, flywheel and a throw race or release bearings. A clutch kit will contain the correct parts for a particular make and model of car and is often cheaper than buying the components individually.

Question 2

How often should a clutch need replacing?

Accepted Answer

There isn’t a typical time or set mileage suggested to replace a clutch kit, as it can depend on both the car and your driving style. Most clutches are designed to last approximately 60k miles, yet they can have a healthy life covering mileages anywhere between 30k and 100k.

Question 3

The law, vehicle regulations and your MOT

Accepted Answer

A damaged or broken clutch will affect your car’s driving ability to the point where it could fail its MOT. Testing doesn’t include an examination of the engine, clutch or gearbox, so if it appears to be working adequately, then it shouldn’t affect the test result.

Question 4

What happens when we replace your clutch kit?

Accepted Answer

Our efficient and fully qualified mechanics will test your clutch for damage and function.
Wherever necessary your clutch will be replaced and you’ll be advised of any other connected or associated issues arising from the process.
You will also be advised of any other parts that may need to be replaced for the best operation and health of your vehicle.
Once the clutch kit has been replaced, our mechanics will test it thoroughly to ensure its correct operation and make any adjustments required for premium performance.

Question 5

What causes a clutch to stop working correctly?

Accepted Answer

A clutch will wear out over time through continual use. The disc thickness reduces, which affects the amount of force the pressure plate can apply to the clutch disc against the flywheel. Incorrect use over extended periods will impact the lifespan and cause unnecessary problems. Slippage can also be caused by reduced tension in the pressure plate’s springs.

Question 6

Symptoms of a malfunctioning clutch

Accepted Answer

If you feel a loss or inappropriate delivery of power when using the accelerator, it could be due to a damaged or worn clutch.

Question 7

The clutch slips while driving

Accepted Answer

If you can’t change gears or it feels like there is unusual grinding and friction when trying, your clutch isn’t separating the engine drive from the gearbox sufficiently.

Question 8

Changing gears is a problem

Accepted Answer

If there is no delivery of power to the engine from the accelerator, then your clutch could be the problem.

Question 9

The car doesn’t move

Accepted Answer

If the transmission makes unhealthy grinding noises when you try to use the clutch to engage or disengage the engine, there’s a strong chance that your clutch isn’t operating as it should.

Question 14

The Mitsubishi Shogun: the beginnings of the SUV generation

Accepted Answer

Question 15

Mitsubishi’s reliability and reputation

Accepted Answer

Mitsubishi ranked joint 4th out of 30 car brands in the What Car? Reliability Survey in 2018. This wasn’t a great surprise, as the Japanese and Asian brands stormed most of the top 10 places in this field, showing them to be well ahead in making the most reliable vehicles in the market.
