Clutch Repairs & Replacement in Sheffield

Clutch problems announce themselves: the biting point creeps higher, the engine revs without the car pulling, it judders pulling away, or the pedal goes heavy or drops to the floor. The good news is that it is not always the clutch. A failing hydraulic cylinder or a cable adjustment can mimic clutch death at a fraction of the cost, which is why we diagnose before we quote, every time.

It might not be the clutch

A high or heavy pedal can be a hydraulic problem rather than a worn clutch. Master and slave cylinders fail, cables stretch, and both cost far less to put right than a clutch kit. We check the cheap causes first and tell you what we find before anything gets replaced.

If it is the clutch

We fit complete quality clutch kits from leading manufacturers. Cover, plate and release bearing together, because reusing old parts inside a new clutch is a false economy. On many modern cars we will also check the dual mass flywheel (DMF) while the gearbox is off. If it is worn, replacing it now avoids paying the full labour twice. We will show you the worn parts afterwards if you want to see them.

Cost and time

Clutch prices vary widely by car. Gearbox access, kit price and whether the flywheel needs doing all move the number, so we diagnose first and quote in writing before any work starts. Most clutch replacements are a full day job and we will confirm timings when you book. Parts carry a 12 month manufacturer warranty (varies by part and supplier). No surprises on collection.

Frequently asked questions

How do I know if my clutch is going?

Slipping under acceleration, a high biting point, judder pulling away, difficulty getting gears, or a burning smell after hills. Any of those means get it checked before it strands you.

How long does a clutch replacement take?

Usually a full day, depending on the car. We will confirm when you book, and remember the free local drop off if you are within 10 minutes of us.

What is a dual mass flywheel and why does it double my quote?

It is a two part flywheel that smooths engine pulses on many modern cars. They wear, and the labour to reach it is the same as the clutch, so if it is worn, doing it at the same time is the economical choice. We check rather than assume.

Can I drive with a slipping clutch?

Briefly and gently, but every slip wears it further and can overheat the flywheel, turning a clutch bill into a clutch and flywheel bill.

Excellent service, I had been having problems with my car radio screen for nearly a year, I took it to them and they found the problem straight away and fixed it for me and claimed it on my warranty and I didn’t have to do anything. Also had a service and 2 tyres.They were so helpful, I was very pleased. It feels like I’ve got a new car!

I recently used GT Automotive for a repair through a warranty claim. Matt was very helpful and explained the process. Unfortunately there were some delays for the repair to be done through no fault of the garage but through the warranty company. Matt kept me updated and fought my case for the claim, eventually got the repairs approved and got my car fixed as quick as they could. I've had a hard time in the past finding a garage I can trust, but these are very genuine and I will be using them for all my car needs going forward, and already have my next Service and MOT booked in.
