Our technicians specialize in clutch repair and can work on nearly any make or model.
Driving a vehicle with a manual transmission is an enjoyable experience for those who like to have more control. An automatic transmission shifts based on certain conditions, while a manual transmission only shifts in response to input from the driver. In order to shift a manual transmission, you must engage the clutch. When the clutch is engaged, it separates briefly from the engine’s flywheel, allowing the engine to operate independently from the transmission. You can quickly shift to a different gear, then return the clutch to its proper position for the car to continue to run normally.
But when you engage the clutch and something goes wrong, it may be in need of attention. Some of the warning signs that a clutch needs repair include slipping out of gear, a non-responsive pedal, a burning odor, or a transmission that feels stuck in a particular gear. If you’re located in or around Statesville, North Carolina, bring your ride to us at American Tire & Automotive for an inspection. We’ll determine what’s causing the clutch to act up and come up with a plan to get it working once again. Our technicians specialize in clutch repair and can work on nearly any make or model.
Depending on the issue, we can determine whether clutch repair is a good option or if the entire unit should be replaced. We can also perform clutch replacement if that is the best course of action. You can count on our technicians to provide high-quality service while your vehicle is in our care.
