Darlington has excellent road links thanks to the A19, the A66 trans-Pennine route (connecting to Stockton-on-Tees) and the A1(M), which bypasses the town to the west. In 2021, people drove 0.47 billion miles on Darlington's roads. If you need to get around via public transport while your car is being repaired, Darlington railway station (North Road station) has regular services to Newcastle and Middlesbrough. Arriva operates most bus services, and there is a bus stop opposite the Town Hall.
The clutch and gearbox work together in a manual transmission to facilitate gear changes, determining the amount of power available from the engine. Unfortunately, several things can go wrong within this system, requiring an urgent repair.Most clutches last at least 60,000 miles, though several factors, including your driving style, can impact this distance. Gearboxes typically last between 100,000 and 150,000 miles - find out how much a repair is likely to cost here.Common signs of clutch and gearbox failure include a limp, hard-to-press or sticking clutch pedal; grinding or clunking noises when you change gears; difficulty moving the gear stick; and clutch slipping, which is when your car struggles to stay in gear. Since these symptoms will only worsen with time, booking a repair sooner rather than later is best.Before you take your car to the garage, have a look at our ultimate guide to clutch repair so you know what to expect.
