Driving a manual transmission vehicle, especially European brands like Audi, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, or Porsche, shows a passion for a true driving adventure. Manual transmissions offer a more connected driving experience, giving complete control over gear selection and engine power.

German Import Garage of Truckee, CA understands the passion for driving and reasoning behind this choice. Let’s explore some clutch service needs for these driving enthusiasts that enjoy hugging a fast turn on a mountain roadway. 

Clutch Service - You Need German Import Garage

1. A Clutch is a High Wear Component:

Over time, clutch components wear. The clutch disc, pressure plate, and release bearing deteriorate. This can be accelerated by mountainous driving around Lake Tahoe, Incline Village and Truckee. 

2. Prevent Costly Repairs:

Ignoring clutch issues can lead to expensive problems, such as damage to the flywheel or transmission synchronizers.

3. Performance Maintenance:

For cars like Porsche or BMW M-series, a worn clutch can significantly affect performance and responsiveness on the road.

4. Stay Ahead of Trouble. 

Regular inspection and service will help identify early stages of clutch failure, such as:

◦ Slipping; 

    ◦ Gear Grinding;

    ◦ Hard Clutch Pedal.
