AMERICAN
Transmissions and Auto Repair

AMERICAN can handle all of your automobile and truck clutch service and repair needs.

Your car's engine always spins, but your wheels don't. You can stop your car without turning off the engine because of the clutch. It engages a spinning engine to a non-spinning transmission by controlling the slippage between the two.

If you have a manual transmission, you're more aware of the clutch because you have an extra pedal to operate. In an automatic transmission, the process is automatic - you don't have to think about it.

The clutch relies on friction. Friction causes wear. Wear calls for maintenance or replacement. Modern clutches are designed to operate well for 80,000 miles or more. Abuse will cause clutch wear much faster and will cut the time considerably. Clutches also use cables, springs, and hydraulics. None will last forever and all can cause a problem.

If you have a clutch or flywheel problem, bring your car to AMERICAN today.
