Catching your shifting issues early can save you a lot of money and be as easy as an adjustment.
Some folks say a clutch is the foot pedal to the left of your brake on the floor of your manual transmission vehicle. Yes, they are half right, the far-left foot pedal is the actual switch which activated the clutch assembly. However, the location of the clutch itself is in your transmission. Does your automatic have a clutch? The answer is yes. An automatic transmission does have a clutch in addition to having sensors automating the activation process, so no foot pedal is needed when driving.
There are five main parts in your clutch that, together, work to sync your engine and wheels, allowing your engine to rev at full speed while your wheels come to a stop.
The five main parts of your clutch are 1. Flywheel, 2. Pressure plate, 3. Disc, 4. Throw-out bearing, 5. Release system. If one component of this assembly is slightly out of tune with the rest, a heavy clunk, hesitation, or grinding can be heard or felt. Clutches do need an adjustment from time to time to keep the perfect amount of play, allowing your car to respond to your commands. Catching this early can save you a lot of time and money.
