Compare Ford Ka clutch repair quotes from specialist garages

Ford was the first carmaker to introduce a vehicle assembly line, speeding up the process of production and bringing cars to more people than ever before. The brand's motorsport credentials are equally impressive. In the 1966 24 Hours of Le Mans race, Ford ended Ferrari's six-year winning streak, beating the likes of Porsche and Lamborghini to the title with an ever-popular GT40.

Jim Morrison, the lead singer of rock band The Doors, famously adored his 1967 Ford Shelby GT500, the only car he ever owned. It is a mystery to this day where the vehicle ended up after his death.

The clutch in your car can last up to 150,000 miles, although this distance is affected by your driving style. If you don't change gears smoothly, the clutch will deteriorate until you may have to consider booking a clutch repair.

Booking a clutch and gearbox repair together is common since these parts go hand in hand. Unfortunately, when you notice your clutch slipping, this means the clutch plate has been worn down. You cannot repair it; instead, it must be replaced.

You could buy a new clutch and have a clutch specialist fit it for you, but it's best to get an expert opinion first.

A clutch repair or replacement will usually take several hours as it is a notoriously big job. Drivers often worry about the price, but that's what FixMyCar is here for; we can help you find an affordable clutch centre or book a mobile clutch repair.
