CLUTCH ADJUSTMENT IN STATEN ISLAND, NY

As a clutch disc wears, the point at which it engages moves and the free play in the pedal changes. Left alone, an out-of-adjustment clutch will either drag — making gears hard to select and grinding on the way into first or reverse — or slip, which burns the friction material away and destroys an otherwise healthy clutch in a fraction of its normal life.

A proper adjustment at our Staten Island, NY shop restores the correct free play and engagement height, whether your vehicle uses a cable, a mechanical linkage, or a hydraulic system with a master and slave cylinder. It is one of the fastest and most affordable services we perform, and it can add years to the life of your clutch.

Call us if the pedal engages very near the floor or very near the top of its travel, if you have trouble fully depressing the pedal, if the clutch slips as you accelerate, if shifting has become notchy or noisy, or if you feel the pedal sinking on its own. Any of these can also signal a hydraulic leak, so we inspect the master cylinder, slave cylinder, and lines as part of the visit.

We work on foreign and domestic vehicles of every type — cars, trucks, SUVs, and RVs — and we will tell you honestly whether an adjustment will solve the problem or whether the assembly has worn past the point where adjustment helps.

World Transmissions is a family owned shop that has served Staten Island since 2003, licensed by the State of New York and staffed by ASE certified mechanics with more than 60 years of combined experience. Because clutch adjustments are quick, we can usually fit you in the same week.

Every visit includes a free computer diagnostic test, free pressure and condition testing, and a free road test so we can confirm the repair from behind the wheel.
