Wigan is mid-way between Liverpool, 17 miles southwest, and Manchester, 16 miles southeast. It lies on the meeting point between the A577 and A49. Wigan is in the Greater Manchester Clean Air Zone; this mainly affects buses, vans, coaches and HGVs. The town's bus station is run by Transport for Greater Manchester - Arriva North West and Diamond Bus North West both operate bus services in the area - and there are two train stations, Wigan North Western and Wallgate.
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.
