What does a clutch do?.

The short story goes like this: the clutch is the drive connection between the engine and the manual gearbox. When the clutch pedal is depressed there is no connection, the wheels don’t turn. Engage a gear and let the clutch pedal out and all is connected – we have motion.
Highway Auto Gearbox and Clutch is the approved supplier for all major fleet companies to service and maintain your company vehicle. If you think you have a gearbox or clutch problem give us a call and we'll give you our opinion free of charge.
What’s the difference between manual and automatic transmissions?
The basic difference is that automatic cars don’t have a clutch pedal or a gear stick. As the name suggests, automatic cars change gears automatically, while drivers of manual cars control the gears themselves. So, why drive a manual? There are many good reasons why manual transmission systems remain popular today:
- People who love driving tend to prefer manual transmission.
- Manual cars are more fuel efficient.
- Maintenance and repairs on manual cars generally costs less.
- Manual cars can get away with less frequent services.
- They are cheaper to buy than automatic cars.
- They give drivers more direct control over the car

Check list to figure out what's wrong with your clutch or transmission:

The manual transmission clutch consists of a number of components. The obvious ones being: the flywheel, the pressure plate and the clutch disc or clutch plate.
- A burning smell: Have this seen to straight away. It could mean that your transmission fluid is overheating and wreaking havoc within the transmission.
- A slipping clutch:This could indicate that the friction material on the clutch disc is worn out..
- Delay when going into gear: This could mean you need a new clutch.
- Shaking: Shaking or rumbling could indicate a problem with your gears
- Strange noises: Clinking, humming, scratching, or snapping noises could indicate a number of different problems. Always have suspicious noises checked out.
- Noisy in neutral: Get to Highway Auto Clutch & Gearbox if this is happening to your car. It usually means you have some worn out parts that need replacing.
- A hard clutch:If you have to apply too much pressure to get the clutch to work it could be a clutch cable problem or a blockage in the hydraulics.
- A sticking clutch: If you're finding it hard to release your clutch, it could be a broken clutch cable, a defective master cylinder, or air in the hydraulic system.
- Car is difficult to change gear in cold temperatures: You may need to change to a lighter oil, but check with Highway Auto advisors first.
