Clutch Repair Video 

A manual transmission only feels smooth when the clutch is doing its job. The clutch is what connects and disconnects engine power from the transmission, giving you the ability to shift gears and move through traffic without grinding or stalling. When the clutch starts wearing out, the whole driving experience changes.

Drivers often notice the signs as slipping under acceleration, a burning smell, trouble getting into gear, or a clutch pedal that feels different than normal. The engine may rev higher without the vehicle gaining speed the way it should. In stop-and-go traffic, the vehicle may become harder to drive smoothly and consistently.

Clutch wear builds over time because the friction material is used every time you shift. Once that material gets too thin, power transfer becomes less effective and drivability starts to suffer.
