Clutch and Clutch Hydraulic Component Repair in Spring, TX
How Does an Automotive Clutch Work?
A vehicle’s clutch can often be a mystery to a lot of drivers. Many people wrongly believe that the clutch simply puts the car in neutral gear. In reality, it disengages the transmission from the drive train.
The engine of your vehicle is designed to be constantly spinning while on. If it wasn’t spinning, it couldn’t continue to run and would shut down. Your transmission transfers that motion to the drive shaft and, in turn, to the wheels. But you don’t always want your wheels or your transmission to be spinning. The most important job of the clutch is to disengage the transmission from the motor, so you can shift gears without grinding.
Affordable Clutch Repair in Spring, TX
The clutch does burn out over an extended period of time, but its repair is a relatively simple maintenance job compared to the more expensive repair of the transmission. Sometimes a clutch disc wears out to a point where it needs to be replaced completely. Other common problems include stretched cable controls, a leak in the hydraulics and occasionally air bubbles formed in the hydraulic line.
