Nationwide Autocentres are one of the UK's largest clutch specialists.
We offer a range of high quality new clutches
from Europe's leading clutch manufacturers. All parts fitted carry
a 2 year unlimited mileage guarantee (excluding taxis, driving schools and
commercial vehicles).
Unlike some other clutch fitting companies, Nationwide Autocentres
employ qualified technicians so this often complex task that involves
extensive stripping down of engine and gear box components is carried
out by a competent person and the guarantee is backed by a national
company.
An example of some common clutch faults are listed below.
It is important to get specialist advice before fitting a new clutch
as many symptoms could indicate a problem with the clutch, whilst
the real fault may be something completely different such as engine
revving, slipping fan belt or minor adjustment.
At Nationwide Autocentres our specialist will provide you with a
free clutch check and/or help to arrange vehicle recovery if your
car is broken down.
Common Clutch faults are:
 |
SLIP – Caused
by oil on the friction plate or worn friction plate, the
symptoms of clutch slip would be partial or total loss of drive,
vehicle
speed lower than normal compared with engine speed. |
|
DRAG – Clutch cable not
at correct adjustment or centre plate sticking on splines. The
symptoms of this would be difficulty in obtaining gear,
particularly first and reverse gears. |
|
JUDDER – Caused
by warped friction plate or engine / gearbox mounts broken.
The symptoms of this would be a shudder and vibration as vehicle
moves off from rest. |
