Clutch & Transmission

Our clutch kits can range from affordable prices from £440 to around £800, depending on your vehicle type, cost of servicing and the kind of modifications needed in your upgrade. Our clutch kits typically include the clutch disc, pressure plates, clutch release bearings and in some cases, a flywheel. The RTS performance clutch kits are designed to increase torque capacity and dissipate heat efficiently, making the driving experience all the more fun for performance enthusiasts and vehicle modifiers alike.  

We don’t just upgrade parts - we install confidence and a lot of fun in your vehicle. For specific pricing, contact us and we can guide you through the process and offer you a quote. 

A standard clutch in your vehicle can last anywhere between 60,000 to 100,000 miles - it’s tougher than what it gets credit for. However, this can all boil down to certain factors which can affect the clutch’s lifespan. Let’s take a look at what’s usually to blame for the premature wear of your clutch: 

Driving Style 

While high performance driving is amazing for thrill seekers and car enthusiasts, your driving style can be the biggest culprit for clutch deterioration. Riding the clutch is one of the biggest clutch killers as it forces the internal components to remain in a continuous state of friction and high temperatures. 

Aggressive launches, heavy gear changes, and constantly balancing the car on the clutch instead of the brake might feel second nature to some drivers, but your clutch definitely notices. As a race track driver or performance enthusiast, this is exactly why you’d need a clutch kit and transmission system that’s optimised for high intensity driving. 

Driving Environment 

This one really matters when it comes to how long your clutch will live. Busy areas with a lot of stop-start traffic such as cities can add a lot of pressure to the clutch, wearing it down over time. 

Vehicle Load 

Vehicles towing a lot of load can further add pressure to the clutch as it begins to work overtime for it to operate. Driving up inclines can have an impact in a similar way as it forces the clutch to slip longer to move the vehicle. 

There are several dead giveaways when it comes to your clutch being on its way out. Let’s have a look at what these signs are: 

Slipping 

One key sign is the fact that the engine revs up when you press the accelerator, but the vehicle doesn’t pick up the speed in proportion to this. 

High Bite Point

When the clutch has worn out, sometimes it only engages or disengages with a very high bite point, often to the very top of the pedal’s travel distance. 

Burning Smell 

Another telltale sign is the burning smell that is produced from your clutch as temperatures rise and materials overheat, effectively starting to burn. 

Difficult Gear Changes

If your gear stick doesn’t want to do its job by being reluctant and resistant to shifting gears, it’s a common sign that it could be on its way out. 

Spongy Or Stiff Pedal 

When pressing the clutch, it shouldn’t feel unusually spongy or stiff.  It can point towards wear in the transmission system and the internal components. 

If you've spotted any of these signs, get in contact with us as soon as possible so we can diagnose any issues and professionally install new parts to keep your vehicle running smoothly. 

When it comes to clutch and transmission products, we have everything you might need for your vehicle to reach best driving experiences. 

From clutch and transmission accessories, gearbox mounts, Haldex service kits and much more, you’re sure to find the right accessories that are well-suited to your vehicle and driving goals.

Checking the transmission fluid levels is usually a part of routine servicing  - it’s an essential step to ensure that all components are running smoothly and the gears shift with no resistance. 

Healthy fluid is clean, while transmission fluid that is darker is a key sign that it is contaminated with something and can indicate an overdue servicing. So, feel free to get booked in with us to see what your transmission fluid is like.
