Clutch Replacement Service Available at Capitol Chevrolet in Salem, OR

December 15th, 2024

An often overlooked component of a vehicle is the clutch, which is present in both manual and automatic transmissions. By helping your vehicle shift gears to the desired speed, the clutch makes your driving experience smooth and seamless. Without a fully functioning clutch, your vehicle's safety and performance are greatly reduced. That's why Capitol Chevrolet offers a clutch replacement service whenever your vehicle requires it. Most of the time, when your clutch is operating smoothly, there will be no signs of slipping or loss of power as your car shifts gears. However, if you begin to notice signs that the transition is no longer smooth, that could be a sign that the clutch has begun to falter. Whenever you are in doubt about your clutch's performance, don't hesitate to reach out to our experienced technicians at Capitol Chevrolet for immediate assistance. You can also schedule an appointment at our service center if you just want to double-check or have any misgivings about your clutch. Our certified technicians will be happy to help you get your issues addressed as efficiently as possible. Keep in mind that all our parts are genuine Chevrolet parts that are specifically designed to the exact specifications of each Chevy model, so you can also rest assured that any replacement work will use a component that is literally as good as new.

When Your Clutch Needs to be Serviced | Salem, OR

The good news is that the clutch does not need service often and, in fact, should last somewhere between 50,000 to 100,000 miles before needing to be replaced. However, it is important to understand that once the clutch reaches its limit, it is imperative to have it replaced for safety as much as performance. We recommend that you check your clutch's condition at the low end of the miles spectrum so that you can have an idea of its lifespan. You should also be aware of signs that the clutch is wearing down so that you can seek professional assistance in a timely manner. These signs include difficulty in shifting gears or noises accompanying shifting, such as squeaks or groans. More pressing signs would be if there is a spongy feel to the clutch pedal, or even a sticking and/or vibrating sensation when pushed, or any acrid burning smells when trying to accelerate. Contact our experienced technicians with any questions or concerns regarding your clutch and the symptoms you have noticed, and be sure to schedule an appointment if you feel the need to do so.
