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
• Clutch slipping (when your car struggles to stay in gear)

Since these symptoms will only worsen with time, booking a clutch and gearbox repair sooner rather than later is best.
