DB Frequent starting, stopping and gear changes place the clutch into use much more often than steady motorway driving.
Why stop-start traffic matters
Clutch life depends heavily upon driving style, mileage, type of driving and how much time is spent in stop-start traffic.
What this means for city drivers
Someone doing lots of urban stop-start driving can place very different demands on a clutch compared with someone doing mostly steady motorway journeys.
Keeping an eye on wear
If you regularly drive in stop-start traffic, it's worth getting the clutch checked at the first sign of slipping, judder or unusual pedal feel.
DB Autos can assess your clutch's condition. Call 01782 844320 or bring your vehicle in.
