Worn out clutch due to bad use

Take Care of Your Clutch.

Incorrect use will shorten the life of your clutch and result in expensive repairs that can be avoided.

"Riding The Clutch" results in poor friction and subsequent slipping wears the clutch surface down eventually to bear metal, at which point the clutch fails and gear change is impossible. Leaving your foot resting on the clutch pedal whilst driving is the easiest and quickest way to wear a clutch out.

Flywheels

Other components can be damaged due to incorrect clutch usage.

This flywheel became badly scored and the excessive heat discolored parts of the casing, all due to the driver riding the clutch too much.

Replacement flywheels can add hundreds of pounds to the repair cost.

Flywheel damage

Pressure plate broken

Bearings & Plates

Release bearings and friction / pressure plates also suffer from poor use of the clutch.

Bearings can seize, and in extreme cases components actually break. The extreme heat and forces created in the example opposite caused the steel pressure plate to actually snap in two.
