Do you drive an Automatic vehicle? Then you might not even know there is a clutch in your vehicle. But without it, the gears in your car will not change. Brighton Tyre & Auto Centre in Brighton know all about repairing and servicing these systems including clutches, cables and fluids. Learn more below. What is a clutch? The clutch is one of the most important elements of your vehicles driving operation. Your engine is what causes your wheels to spin, but what happens when your car needs to stop? The engine shouldn't stop spinning but the wheels need to. It's the clutch that allows this to happen. The clutch allows the transfer of power from the engine to the wheels to be interrupted while a gear is being changed or while the car is stationary and the engine continues to run. What is clutch fluid? Some vehicles have hydraulic clutches - when you press the clutch pedal, the clutch fluid moves the pressure from the pedal through to the clutch and disengages the power transmission. Leaking clutch fluid can cause all kinds of problem in your vehicle so it is very important to monitor it regularly. At Brighton Tyre & Auto Centre in Brighton we check your clutch fluid, hydraulic system or clutch cables for you in the course of our free 65 Point Vehicle Inspection - which you can request as part of every car service.
 What signs to look for if your clutch is not performing You should have your clutch looked at if: You notice a burnt ‘toast' or ‘burning rubber' smell in your car, or smoke from under vehicle Your vehicle is slipping out of gear for no reason There is jerky or sticky gear operation Your clutch is not disengaging fully, or your clutch is sticking or shuddering If your clutch is showing any of the problems above - it could mean any number of faults. Clutch problems are difficult to diagnose by symptoms alone because many issues cause the same symptoms, depending on the vehicle and type of engine. The best way to deal with clutch shuddering, slipping or noise is contact us at Brighton Tyre & Auto Centre today. We can perform clutch service and repairs on most makes and models right here in our Brighton workshop.

Battery Trouble on a Cold Tassie Morning?

Exploring Tasmania by road is an unforgettable experience, but it also comes with its own unique set of challenges. The island's roads are renowned for their sharp bends, steep gradients, and occasional stretches of gravel, all of which demand a car in top-notch condition. Add to that the unpredictable weather—one moment sunny, the next a sudden downpour—and it's clear why ensuring your vehicle is road-trip ready is so important.  Essential Vehicle Checks for a Tasmanian Road Trip Before setting off on your Tasmanian road trip, it’s essential to carry out a series of checks to ensure your vehicle is safe and reliable for the journey ahead. Tasmania’s unique driving conditions, from winding roads to varying weather, can put extra demands on your car, so addressing these points is crucial. Tyres: Start with your tyres, as they are the only point of contact between your car and the road. Check the tread depth to ensure it meets legal requirements and provides adequate grip, especially for wet or uneven surfaces. Inspect for any signs of wear or damage, such as cracks or bulges, and make sure they are inflated to the correct pressure as specified in your vehicle’s manual. Don't forget to check that your spare tyre is in good condition and that you have the necessary tools to change a tyre if required. It’s always better to be prepared for any unforeseen situations. Brakes: Brakes are another critical component. Ensure the brake pads and discs are in good condition, as they are vital for handling steep descents and sudden stops. If you notice any squealing noises or reduced responsiveness, it’s time to get them inspected or replaced. Fluids: Coolant levels should also be checked to prevent overheating, particularly when navigating the hilly terrain common in Tasmania. Low coolant can lead to engine trouble, which could leave you stranded far from help. Similarly, check the engine oil level and top up if necessary to keep the engine running smoothly throughout your journey. Lights: Inspect your car’s lights, including headlights, brake lights, and indicators, to make sure they are all functioning correctly. With Tasmania’s early sunsets and rural roads, good visibility is essential for your safety and that of other road users. Battery: Don’t overlook the battery, especially if it hasn’t been replaced in a while. Test the charge and inspect for corrosion around the terminals, as a failing battery can leave you unable to start your car. Additionally, ensure your windscreen wipers are in good working order and that the washer fluid is topped up, as clear visibility is vital in case of rain or muddy road spray. Completing these checks before your trip will help ensure a safe, enjoyable experience on Tasmania’s stunning yet demanding roads. A thorough pre-trip inspection not only guarantees a smoother journey but also helps avoid unnecessary stress or breakdowns along the way. For drivers keen to make their Tasmanian adventure as safe and enjoyable as possible, Brighton Tyre & Auto Centre offers expert servicing to ensure your vehicle is prepared for whatever the road ahead might bring.
