Your Lincoln Park Auto Repair Service Makes Clutch Replacement Easy

By Nelson Cozad


Manual transmission vehicles are increasing in popularity, especially with the need to conserve on fuel. Even though they perform well for thousands of miles, clutches will wear down and require replacement eventually. Doing this job yourself can be a great deal more work than you imagine, and your Lincoln Park auto repair service is there to help.

To replace a clutch, the car's engine must be removed and this takes special skill and equipment. Most cars have transverse mounted engines and this makes engine removal even more difficult for someone with limited knowledge and tools. Your local technician has all the right tools for the job.

You should take your vehicle to the shop as soon as you notice shifting problems. When a clutch becomes worn the transmission will begin to slip. A slipping transmission can cost you a great deal of money in lower gas mileage. Also, other worn parts (like the clutch pressure plate or throw out bearing) can go bad, and this can affect the way the car shifts and performs.

Your technician will test drive the vehicle and give you an estimate for the job. He may advise you to also replace the other components so you will not have to worry about future problems. It is easy to replace the other parts once the engine is removed.

If your car has a hydraulic clutch, there are more parts to check out, and this may require additional repairs or adjustments. If you drive many miles each day in stop and go traffic, you may be better off with clutch parts that are made for this kind of driving. They may cost more than standard parts, but will give you much better wear and performance.

Your Chicago automotive professionals have a reputation of honesty and reliability. They can easily fix your transmission problems and serve most of your car's requirements. They are also there with courtesy transportation service from the shop, for customers that live in the neighborhood.
