Although automotive clutches have evolved greatly since their invention more than a hundred ago, they have also remained largely unchanged in terms of their purpose, design, basic construction, and principles of operation.

Put in another way, this means that owners of vehicles with manual transmissions have been experiencing largely the same problems and issues with the clutches on their vehicles as drivers have for decades.

Unlike most other friction components like brake pads, brake shoes, and brake rotors/drums that are very easy to inspect for signs of excessive wear or other problems, clutches are located between the engine and transmission, which makes it almost impossible to inspect clutch components. In fact, the only time a clutch assembly can be properly inspected for damage, wear, or other issues is when either the engine or the transmission is removed from the vehicle.

Unfortunately, this does not happen very often (if at all) during the useful life of the average clutch assembly, which means that owners of manual vehicles only become aware of clutch problems when one or more symptoms of a failing clutch manifest themselves.

While most high quality clutches provide many years of reliable service under normal driving conditions, the friction linings on the driven plate cannot last forever, and most manual vehicles will see at least one clutch replacement during its lifetime as a result of normal wear of the linings. Nonetheless, regardless of why a vehicle needs a clutch replacement, there are several things you should keep in mind when the clutch on your vehicle has to be replaced.
