Learn About Clutch Replacement For Your Car At Byers Airport Subaru
Once you master driving a car with a standard transmission, you may never want to go back — especially if you’re an enthusiast. Nothing connects you to the road quite like manually selecting gears. Furthermore, nothing connects you to your car like taking great care of it so it looks and runs great while lasting longer! A manual transmission will need some routine service over time, including replacing the clutch as it goes bad. Learn more below from the team at Byers Airport Subaru.
Why Does A Clutch Need To Be Replaced?
Many of the parts of your manual transmission, such as the linkages and mechanisms under the hood and the gears themselves, are engineered to last the lifetime of the vehicle. However, a component called the clutch disc is designed to wear out over time. It’s coated in a friction material that enables you to engage and disengage the clutch with your foot when changing gears. This material wears away over time, and after tens of thousands of miles the disc will need to be replaced to prevent transmission slip, poor transmission feel and a loss of power.
How Long Should The Clutch Last On My Car?
The short (but not especially helpful) answer is, “it depends.” The longevity of the clutch varies from car to car. It also varies depending on your driving style, and the conditions your vehicle encounters along your commute. Rather than recommend a mileage interval for this part’s replacement, Subaru recommends having the clutch system inspected regularly — every 15,000 miles — by a trained technician. This ensures there are no surprises as you always know just what kind of shape your clutch is in.
