Clutch repairsCurrajong.
A clutch that slips on the climbs, judders off the line or has turned heavy underfoot is living on borrowed time. We rebuild the whole assembly with quality parts, machine the flywheel when it calls for it, and quote the lot before we start. The workshop is a neighbouring suburb away in Garbutt, a few minutes from Currajong.

Why it matters
A slipping clutchnever fixes itself.
The stop-start running around Currajong and the daily crawl into town are hard on a clutch, and a worn one only heads one direction. Tackling it early keeps the job contained and keeps you from being stranded on the side of the road.
Sort it before it leaves you stuck
Slipping and shuddering are the early warning. Book it in now and it is a planned repair, not a car that will not move at the lights on a Monday morning.
Protect the flywheel and gearbox
Leave a worn clutch too long and it scores the flywheel and loads up the gearbox, turning a clutch job into a far dearer one.
Smooth shifts again
A new clutch brings back the easy take-off and clean gear changes, so the car is a pleasure to drive in traffic rather than a chore.
What you get

Signs the clutchis on the way out.
A clutch gives you plenty of warning before it lets go. If one of these has crept in, book it in before it leaves you sitting still.

Common questions
The questionswe hear most.

Straight to our Garbutt workshop, only a few minutes from Currajong once you are onto Bayswater Road. A clutch is usually a full day on the bench, so book it in, leave it with us, drop the keys in the secure box after hours if that is easier, and you will get it back with a clean, light take-off.
Slipping is the big one: the revs flare but the car does not pick up speed to match. Add a pedal that feels hard or spongy, a judder as you pull away, baulking gears or a burning smell, and any of those earns a look.
Commonly 100,000 to 150,000 km, but heavy loads and a steady diet of stop-start traffic cut it short. Where and how you drive counts for more than the odometer alone.
It comes down to the vehicle and whether the flywheel needs machining once we are in there. You get an honest, firm quote up front, and nothing extra goes ahead without a call.
Every week. The Hilux, Ranger, LandCruiser, Triton and D-Max parked across Currajong's older streets, plus the heavier diesel setups, all done with quality parts matched to how the vehicle earns its keep.
It can. A clutch left slipping too long scores the flywheel and puts strain through the gearbox, and both of those turn a routine clutch job into a much bigger bill. Catching it early is always the cheaper option.
