Improve your Power and Mileage with Clutch
Any car that is driven manually (not automatic), has a clutch. This clutch is used to change gears while driving a car. The clutch helps the engine to run at a stationary position. It also helps to reduce engine speed. Car can be controlled through clutch and hence ensuring that the clutch is working properly is of atmost importance.
If you experience the following signs, it is time for you to get your clutch replaced:
• Difficulty in shifting gears, including grinding noise
• Engine is revving but acceleration is poor
• Slipping of clutch which causes momentary loss of acceleration
• Sticking/Loose/Vibrating clutch pedal
• Clutch pedal becoming excessively hard to engage
If the one drives a car with a bad clutch, there is a high possibility that the car can come to a sudden stand still and you can be stranded at any unexpected location. Clutch plate replacement can cost between Rs. 6000-Rs. 30,000. For CBU models, the cost can go up to Rs. 50,000.
While driving, the following habits may reduce the life of your clutch:
- Keeping the car on gear even while you have to stop and engaging the clutch pedal
- Changing gears slowly while the clutch is placed
- Riding the clutch (i.e., driving the car while the clutch pedal is pressed partially by resting the foot on the clutch pedal)
- Pressing the clutch and raising the RPM of the wheel to a high level
- Unnecessary usage of clutch
