When it comes to your clutch system, there are a few things you need to know to safely operate and maintain your drivetrain. While clutch designs vary for light, medium or heavy duty applications, the primary purpose of a clutch is to transfer torque from the engine to the transmission. It also facilitates the shift function. It does this by interrupting or "interrupting" the flow of power between the engine and transmission when the vehicle is stopped (engine running) so that you can change gears.

Heavy duty truck clutch life can vary greatly depending on the application, frequency of towing, heavy loads, and stop-and-go traffic. However, clutch pedal behavior and clutch performance can help diagnose problems before driving becomes dangerous.

Here are some common signs and symptoms that your clutch system might need attention:

- The clutch pedal is loose, stuck or loose

- Loss of free movement of the clutch pedal.

- Difficulty changing gears

- Difficult to reverse

- Temporary loss of acceleration or skidding

- Any unusual noise when the clutch pedal is depressed

If you notice any of these signs or symptoms, we strongly recommend that you make an appointment with your mechanic or give one of our service technicians a call. We will be able to properly diagnose and recommend the repairs and replacements you may need. Your safety is our top concern. Driving with a failed clutch is dangerous and can get you in trouble.
