The transmission system is an important part of your Volvo after the engine. It is is responsible for transferring power from the engine to the wheels of the car. The transmission system consists of various components and the clutch is one of them. The clutch plays a crucial role in engaging the transmission assembly with the engine. However, as it is subjected to constant friction, the clutch will wear out eventually. Go through the slide to know the tips to avoid clutch issues in Volvo models.

1. Tips to Avoid
Clutch Issues
in Volvo
Models

2. The clutch is an
important part of every
Volvo model for
engaging the
transmission assembly
with the engine.

3. The clutch is subjected
to constant friction, so it
is unsurprising that it
will wear out eventually.

4. Generally, a clutch lasts
10,000 miles before you
need to get a new one
or you could drive
150,000 before it gives
up.

5. But, exactly how long
your car goes without
having to replace the
clutch depends entirely
on the way it is driven.

6. Here are some tips to
avoid clutch issues in
Volvo models.

7. Don’t ride the
clutch

8. Riding the clutch simply
refers to the act of
always keeping the
clutch pedal partially
pressed down.

9. This pushes the
pressure pad against
the clutch plate but
doesn't engage
completely, therefore
creating more friction
and wearing out the
clutch faster.

10. Use
handbrake in
parking

11. Leaving the car parked
in gear puts a strain on
the clutch even when
the engine is switched
off.

12. So, you should use the
handbrake to secure the
car when parking
instead of leaving your
vehicle in gear.

13. Sit in neutral
when stopped

14. Waiting at traffic lights
or junctions with the
clutch down, first gear
engaged and your foot
on the brake can put
unnecessary strain on
the clutch.

15. It is much better to
change into neutral if
you are going to be
stopped for any length
of time and to use the
handbrake to keep the
car stationary.

16. Be decisive
about gear
changes

17. Bear in mind that many
of the things you do to
reduce the amount you
use your clutch can end
up putting more strain
on your brakes instead.

18. Dont change gear more
times than necessary. A
piece of advice often
given to increase the
shelf life of your clutch
is to not use the
gearbox to slow down.

19. Change gear
quickly

20. Don't linger when
changing gears. This is a
common problem with
new drivers when they
are first learning how to
drive a manual vehicle.

21. Changing gear doesn't
need to take a long time,
the longer you keep the
clutch pedal pressed down,
the more strain you are
putting on your clutch each
time you change gear.
