Clutch Replacement and Clutch Repair Experts
Ashmore RWC offers Gold Coast Clutch Repairs and Replacements for vehicles and 4X4's including Hyundai, Toyota, Mitsubishi, Mazda, Ford and many more car makes. A failing clutch can quickly damage other components of the transmission if you keep operating your vehicle and this can significantly increase your repair costs. We want to help you avoid this if possible and we use high quality parts to ensure you get maximum longevity from your new clutch.
How long should a clutch last? There isn’t really a set timeframe on how long a clutch should last. Bear in mind that burn outs and revving the engine high on take off will shorten the life of a clutch. Apart from the quality of parts, it comes down to the driver and how they treat the clutch.
How do you inspect the clutch?
There isn’t really a way to visually inspect a clutch apart from removing it from the car. This entails removing either the engine or the gearbox to gain access in order to remove it. (The gearbox is usually the easier option). Sometimes additional labour will be required if the sub frame requires removal in order to get the gearbox out of the vehicle. The way we will generally check the condition of your clutch is by road testing the vehicle. Don’t always be alarmed if the pedal feels high, every vehicle has their own characteristics and some of them feel quite high from new and will sometimes give you the false pretense that the clutch is close to failure.
There'll be no unexpected items on your invoice. There will be no unnecessary repairs.
You and your vehicle will be treated with respect. We'll explain things without technical jargon.
We use the best quality parts and Penrite oils whenever possible. We want you to get the most out of each service and repair.
What does a clutch kit include?
When a clutch kit is purchased, it will usually consist of: a clutch plate, clutch disc (this has the friction material) and a release/throw-out bearing. Did you know that along with the clutch as pictured above, there is also the cable or in most vehicles now, the hydraulic components? These items are what do the the work when the driver depresses the clutch pedal. It tells the clutch when to engage and disengage. Clutch hydraulic components aren't usually in a clutch kit and are sold separately in many cases.
Depending on the design of the clutch system, some vehicles do have a “concentric slave cylinder” This is the exception of when a part of clutch hydraulic system can sometimes be included in the clutch kit.
When asking for an estimate, please ask us and we can confirm the type of clutch system your vehicle has in place.
Clutch replacement can range in price quite substantially. We are finding it more and more common for vehicles to be fitted with “Dual Mass flywheels” which unfortunately means more expensive parts. The benefit of it a much nicer feeling clutch pedal.
Be wary of workshops offering cut-price deals that get you in the door initially, only to get that dreaded phone call a few hours later that the estimate has substantially increased. We attempt to keep our estimates as close to the final invoice price as possible and will always try to advise of possible incidentals based on our experience with each particular vehicle model.
