A properly functioning clutch should engage smoothly and release cleanly. Over time, friction materials wear down, hydraulic components leak, or linkage systems fall out of adjustment — leading to noticeable performance changes.

Common signs include:

• Slipping during acceleration or hill climbs
• Difficulty shifting gears or grinding when engaging
• Clutch pedal feels soft, spongy, or engages high
• Burning smell or clutch chatter at takeoff
• Pedal vibration or inconsistent engagement points

At The Garage MKG, we identify the cause before replacing parts — ensuring your repair solves the root problem, not just the symptom.

Our team specializes in professional clutch replacement using OEM-grade or performance components designed for your specific vehicle. We inspect every related component during disassembly to ensure a complete, lasting repair.

Our clutch service includes:

• Removal and inspection of transmission and flywheel
• Replacement of clutch disc, pressure plate, and release bearing
• Resurfacing or replacement of the flywheel (as needed)
• New pilot bearing installation
• Hydraulic system bleed and adjustment

We handle everything from standard commuter vehicles to high-torque European and performance applications. Every clutch repair is documented through your Complete Vehicle Health Report for transparency and peace of mind.

Clutch feel is everything. Our technicians ensure each system operates exactly as intended — smooth, firm, and consistent. We verify engagement points, inspect hydraulic lines for pressure loss, and test drive to confirm performance before returning your vehicle.
