Clutch repairsCranbrook.
A clutch that slips on the hills, shudders off the line or has gone heavy underfoot is on borrowed time. We rebuild the whole assembly with quality parts, machine the flywheel when it needs it, and quote the lot before we start. The workshop is a short drive from Cranbrook in Garbutt.

Why it matters
A slipping clutchnever fixes itself.
Stop-start running around Cranbrook and the daily crawl into town are hard on a clutch, and a worn one only heads one way. Dealing with it early keeps the job contained and keeps you off the back of a tilt tray.
Sort it before it strands you
Slipping and shuddering are the early warning. Book it in now and it is a planned repair, not a no-go at the lights on a Monday morning.
Save the flywheel and gearbox
Leave a worn clutch too long and it scores the flywheel and leans on the gearbox, turning a clutch job into a much dearer one.
Clean shifts again
A fresh clutch gives you smooth take-off, easy gear changes and a car that is a pleasure to drive in traffic instead of a chore.
What you get

Signs the clutchis on the way out.

Common questions
The questionswe hear most.
Still not sure? Give the workshop a call or send a message and we will sort it.
Our workshop is in Garbutt, a short drive from Cranbrook. Most clutch jobs run about a day, so book it in, leave it with us, use the after-hours key drop if it suits, and we will have it back to you with the take-off feeling fresh again.
The usual giveaways are slipping (revs rise but the car will not pull), a hard or spongy pedal, a shudder off the line, trouble finding gears or a burning smell. Any one of those is worth an inspection.
Often 100,000 to 150,000 km, but towing, heavy loads and constant stop-start traffic shorten that. How and where you drive makes a real difference.
It depends on the vehicle and whether the flywheel needs machining. We give you an honest, firm price up front before any work begins.
Every week. Hilux, Ranger, LandCruiser, Triton, D-Max and the heavier diesel setups included, with quality parts chosen to suit how the vehicle gets used.
It can. A slipping clutch left too long scores the flywheel and loads up the gearbox, both of which cost more to put right later. Getting in early is the cheaper road.
