The clutch in your vehicle is a mechanical device which connects two or more rotating shafts, in most manual cars this means the shafts which turns the wheels and the shaft which comes from the engine. The clutch enables the shafts to rotate independently from one another, enabling you to safely change speed, switch gear or come to a stop without turning off the engine.

The most common problems with car clutches include wear, leaks, low fluid and air in the hydraulic line. Signs that you might have an issue with your car clutch include:
