Slipping clutch? Hard to shift? E1 Auto Care provides professional clutch replacement in Arlington, TX. We use quality parts and do the job right—backed by our 12 months / 12,000 miles warranty on parts and labor.
The clutch is a friction disc that connects your engine to your manual transmission. When you press the clutch pedal, it disconnects the engine from the transmission, allowing you to shift gears. When released, it engages to transfer power.
Clutches wear from friction during engagement. Riding the clutch, aggressive launches, and high-mileage accelerate wear. A worn clutch slips, failing to transfer full engine power. Eventually, it won't engage at all.
At E1 Auto Care, clutch replacement includes the clutch disc, pressure plate, and throw-out bearing at minimum. We also inspect and often recommend replacing the flywheel (or resurfacing it) for proper clutch engagement and longevity.

Shop tipWhen replacing a clutch, we always recommend at minimum resurfacing the flywheel—or replacing it on dual-mass flywheel vehicles. Putting new friction material on a glazed or warped flywheel causes clutch chatter and premature failure.
