Repair Services | Demo Auto Repair

A manual transmission clutch is a wear item that eventually requires care. We provide knowledgeable clutch replacements for everything from modern sports cars to classic trucks. The job involves removing the transmission to access the clutch disc, pressure plate, throw-out bearing, and often the pilot bearing. We inspect the flywheel for heat cracks and resurface or replace it as needed. Using premium clutch kits ensures smooth engagement and long life. Trust our skilled mechanics with this precise and labor-intensive restoration.

Clutch wear happens gradually. Early signs include the clutch pedal engaging higher than usual or a shuddering sensation when releasing the pedal. As it wears further, you may notice slipping—the engine RPMs rise without a corresponding increase in vehicle speed, especially under acceleration or on hills. A chattering noise when engaging or a constant grinding sound could indicate bearing failure. Addressing these symptoms early can prevent damage to the flywheel and save you money. Let us diagnose your clutch concerns.

A clutch replacement is a complex job that requires special tools and expertise. Proper alignment of the clutch disc is critical; even a slight misalignment can lead to premature failure and vibration. We use alignment tools and follow torque specifications precisely. We also recommend replacing the rear main seal while the transmission is out, as it's easily accessible and prevents a future leak. Our Lanham shop guarantees a smooth, precise pedal feel and consistent operation for thousands of miles to come.
