Do you drive an Automatic vehicle? Then you might not even know there is a clutch in your vehicle. But without it, the gears in your car will not change. Pelican Motors Service Centre in Caloundra know all about repairing and servicing these systems including clutches, cables and fluids. Learn more below. What is a clutch? The clutch is one of the most important elements of your vehicles driving operation. Your engine is what causes your wheels to spin, but what happens when your car needs to stop? The engine shouldn't stop spinning but the wheels need to. It's the clutch that allows this to happen. The clutch allows the transfer of power from the engine to the wheels to be interrupted while a gear is being changed or while the car is stationary and the engine continues to run. What is clutch fluid? Some vehicles have hydraulic clutches - when you press the clutch pedal, the clutch fluid moves the pressure from the pedal through to the clutch and disengages the power transmission. Leaking clutch fluid can cause all kinds of problem in your vehicle so it is very important to monitor it regularly. At Pelican Motors Service Centre in Caloundra we check your clutch fluid, hydraulic system or clutch cables for you in the course of our free 65 Point Vehicle Inspection - which you can request as part of every car service.
 What signs to look for if your clutch is not performing You should have your clutch looked at if: You notice a burnt ‘toast' or ‘burning rubber' smell in your car, or smoke from under vehicle Your vehicle is slipping out of gear for no reason There is jerky or sticky gear operation Your clutch is not disengaging fully, or your clutch is sticking or shuddering If your clutch is showing any of the problems above - it could mean any number of faults. Clutch problems are difficult to diagnose by symptoms alone because many issues cause the same symptoms, depending on the vehicle and type of engine. The best way to deal with clutch shuddering, slipping or noise is contact us at Pelican Motors Service Centre today. We can perform clutch service and repairs on most makes and models right here in our Caloundra workshop.

Drive Safer this Winter with a 65 Point Written Vehicle Inspection Report Our 65 Point Vehicle Inspection Report is free with every service at Pelican Motors Service Centre in Caloundra. Our qualified mechanics will visually check over the important safety components of your vehicle and provide you with a written report on the condition of your vehicle.  Safe winter driving tips While half of Australia is enjoying their dry season up north, the southern half of the country is bracing for a wet winter. You'd think that this would mean totally different ways to get your vehicle ready for winter; however the essentials of safe winter motoring stay the same. So what steps can you take to make sure your car is ready for safe winter motoring?  Seeing your way clear We've all experienced that moment where you turn on the wipers at the first spot of rain and suddenly remember you haven't checked them in months! Your wipers are exposed to the full force of the Australian sun all year round and wear out. A good quality wiper blade like Trico is essential to help you see your way clear regardless of the weather. Pelican Motors Service Centre can recommend a wiper blade or assembly that is right for your car. Stay fluid Fluids and other workings in your car can be effected by cold weather; including coolants, oils and items such as glow plugs in diesel vehicles. It's important to have your car serviced regularly by an expert who recognises the correct parts and products to keep your car in its best operating condition. We use high quality NGK glow plugs and Penrite oils and fluids that are designed for Australian conditions.   Drive to the conditions Conditions change - and your driving style should too. In wet weather or poor visibility, slow down and leave a larger than normal stopping distance between yourself and the vehicle in front. Drive on the safe side and book in today for a service or a 65 Point Vehicle Inspection Report. Could you stop in time? Be aware of the signals that your brakes need inspecting, for example vibrating, spongy or slow responding brake pedal, strange sounds or difficult handling when applying pressure to your brakes. If you notice any of these you should get it checked out by a specialist. Brake inspections form part of our 65 Point Vehicle Inspection Report, so if you have concerns call us today and book in. It's dangerous to drive on bald tyres, or tyres with incorrect inflation. Now is the time to check how much tread depth you have. If your tyres are wearing unevenly, this could indicate that your shock absorbers or some other vital part of your steering and suspension systems are due for service or replacement.  Driving on tyres that are incorrectly inflated won't just cost you money on additional fuel; it can also impact your ability to stop. You can usually find manufacturers recommendations on a panel inside the driver side door. We can then help you understand any safety concerns which may need to be attended so that you can drive safe this winter with Pelican Motors Service Centre and Repco Authorised Service.

The qualified mechanics at Pelican Motors Service Centre will visually check over the important safety components of your vehicle and provide you with a written report on the condition of your vehicle.
