Clutch Repair
DELL’S SERVICE CENTER: CLUTCH REPAIR EXPERTS OF GREEN BAY
Whether you’re rolling through the scenic routes of Door County or powering down the streets of Green Bay—maybe on your way to Lambeau Field or grabbing some cheese curds downtown—your clutch plays a key role in keeping that ride smooth.

Signs Your Clutch Might Be Waving a White Flag
Don’t wait for your car to completely give up on shifting—pay attention to these signs that your clutch may need some love:
Slipping Gears
If you’re revving the engine but your car’s not moving like it should—or it feels like it’s losing power during acceleration—your clutch might be slipping. It’s a common sign of wear, and it’s only going to get worse if left unchecked.
Difficulty Shifting
Struggling to shift into gear? If things are starting to feel clunky, sticky, or downright stubborn, there may be a problem with your clutch cable or hydraulics. It shouldn’t feel like a workout just to get into first gear.
Burning Smell
Smell something like burning rubber or toast when driving? That might be your clutch overheating, especially if you’ve been riding it in traffic or on hills. That smell’s your warning sign—don’t ignore it.
Noisy Clutch Pedal
If pressing the clutch pedal leads to squealing, grinding, or rattling, there may be a problem with the throw-out bearing or other internal components. Your clutch shouldn’t be making its own soundtrack.
Spongy or Stiff Pedal Feel
Is your clutch pedal feeling too soft—or way too stiff? Changes in pedal resistance can signal hydraulic issues or worn components. It should feel firm but smooth—anything else deserves a closer look.
Common FAQs On Clutch Repair
How long does a clutch last?
It depends on your driving habits, but most clutches last between 50,000 and 100,000 miles. If you’re noticing signs of wear earlier, especially with a manual transmission in stop-and-go traffic, it’s worth getting checked.
What happens if I drive with a worn clutch?
It can lead to more damage—not just to the clutch itself but also to the transmission. Plus, you could end up stranded. Best to get ahead of it before you’re left with a repair bill that’s higher than it needed to be.
How much does clutch repair cost?
Clutch repair costs vary depending on your vehicle and what exactly needs to be fixed. We’ll give you a clear, honest estimate after diagnosis—no surprises.
How long does clutch repair take?
Most clutch repairs take about a day, depending on parts and complexity. We’ll keep you updated so you’re not left wondering when you’ll be back on the road.
Why does my clutch feel different all of a sudden?
If your pedal feel has changed, your gears are grinding, or you’re hearing new noises, something’s off. Changes like these usually mean something’s wearing out or slipping. Don’t wait for it to get worse—let us take a look.
Can a bad clutch affect fuel economy?
Yes, it can. A slipping clutch can cause your engine to work harder than it should, which can burn more fuel. If you’re noticing lower gas mileage along with shifting issues, your clutch could be the reason.
Is it okay to "ride the clutch"?
Not really. Keeping your foot on the clutch pedal while driving—especially in traffic—can wear it out much faster. It’s best to fully engage or disengage the clutch rather than hovering in between.
