Hybrid Clutch Replacement – Ashby

The clutch is a vital mechanical component that links the engine to the transmission and takes an enormous strain because it is constantly assisting drivers when changing gear.

The wear and tear found in clutches is, therefore, fully understandable, and it is essential that clutches are regularly serviced and maintained to reduce the need for extensive repairs or replacements further down the line. Castle Garage EV in Ashby are very knowledgeable and have a wealth of experience dealing with clutch servicing and, when required, clutch replacement. Our modern workshop is fully fitted with all the necessary equipment and tools, and our team of trained technicians know clutches inside out, on almost all hybrid makes and models of cars and vans.

When will my hybrid’s clutch need replacing?

Whether and when a hybrid vehicle will need a clutch replacement depends on the type of hybrid system it uses. Hybrid vehicles generally fall into three categories: Full Hybrids (HEVs), Plug-in Hybrids (PHEVs), and Mild Hybrids (MHEVs). The need for a clutch replacement varies based on the transmission type in these systems.

Mild hybrids (MHEVs)
These vehicles often use conventional manual or automated manual transmissions, meaning they can have a clutch that wears over time like a standard petrol or diesel vehicle. If driven frequently in stop-start traffic, the clutch may eventually need replacing.

Plug-in hybrids (PHEVs) and some full hybrids (HEVs)
Some hybrid models, particularly those with dual-clutch automatic transmissions (DCTs) or automated manual transmissions (AMTs), may have clutches that wear over time. However, because electric assistance reduces the strain on the petrol/diesel engine, clutch wear is often slower than in traditional cars.
