Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a clutch last?
A typical clutch lasts 60,000–100,000 miles, but this varies hugely based on driving style. Frequent hill starts, towing, and riding the clutch pedal accelerate wear. Some well-driven clutches last 150,000+ miles.
Should I replace the flywheel with the clutch?
If your car has a dual mass flywheel (DMF), it's often recommended to replace it at the same time as the clutch, as the gearbox must come out anyway. A worn DMF can destroy a new clutch within months.
What are the signs of a failing clutch?
Common signs include clutch slip (engine revs rise but speed doesn't), a high biting point, difficulty selecting gears, juddering when pulling away, or unusual noises when pressing the clutch pedal.
