When it comes to taking care of your car's clutch you could spend weeks learning how to diagnose each and every issue. To make things quicker, and easier, we've put together 3 simple checks you can do to make sure your clutch is working as it should.
When driving a manual car, the clutch is arguably one of the most important components, and keeping it in tip top condition should be a high priority.
From a start bring your clutch up very slowly and give your car some throttle to prevent your car from stalling. When you release the clutch the car should set off very slowly. If, when you’re driving, you notice any grinding, squeaking or burning smells then it’s likely that your clutch is worn and needs to be replaced. At this point we’d recommend calling your local garage.
