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. Jamesies Fuel & Fix in Glen Innes 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 Jamesies Fuel & Fix in Glen Innes 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 Jamesies Fuel & Fix today. We can perform clutch service and repairs on most makes and models right here in our Glen Innes workshop.

The clutch is one of the most important elements of your vehicles driving operation.

As Easter approaches, many of us start planning road trips to enjoy time with family and friends. Before setting off on your journey, it's crucial to ensure your vehicle is in top shape to avoid any unexpected issues on the road.  Pre-Road Trip Vehicle Checklist Tyre Pressure and Condition - Check your tyre pressure to ensure it matches the manufacturer's recommended levels. Properly inflated tyres can improve fuel efficiency and ensure a safer drive. Inspect the tyre tread for wear and damage. Uneven wear might indicate alignment issues or the need for rotation. Oil Levels - Ensure your engine oil is at the correct level and in good condition. If it's time for an oil change, don't delay. Fresh oil keeps your engine running smoothly and helps prevent overheating. Brake Functionality - Test your brakes to ensure they are responsive. Listen for any unusual noises, which could indicate worn brake pads or other issues.
Check the brake fluid level and top it off if necessary. Lights and Signals - Verify that all your vehicle's lights are functioning correctly, including headlights, brake lights, turn signals, and hazard lights. Clear visibility and signaling are essential for safe driving. Fluid Levels - In addition to engine oil and brake fluid, check other fluids such as coolant, transmission fluid, and windshield washer fluid. Top them off as needed. Battery Health - Inspect your battery for any signs of corrosion and ensure the connections are secure. If your battery is old or has been giving you trouble, consider replacing it before your trip. Wiper Blades - Make sure your windshield wipers are in good condition and replace them if they are leaving streaks. Clear visibility is crucial, especially in spring weather. Regular Servicing - Regular maintenance can prevent many issues. Consider having a professional check your vehicle, especially if it’s been a while since your last service. A trusted workshop like Jamesies Fuel & Fix can help identify potential problems before they become significant. Conducting these checks before your Easter road trip can help ensure a smooth and safe journey. Regular servicing is key to maintaining your vehicle's health and longevity. If you're in Glen Innes, trust the expertise of Jamesies Fuel & Fix for all your pre-road trip preparations. Safe travels!

Jamesies Fuel & Fix provide a checklist of essential vehicle checks to perform before your trip, highlighting the importance of regular servicing

Preparing Your Vehicle for an Easter Road Trip

Keep your cool, without global warming. A proactive car air conditioning approach to protecting our environment.  As Australia begins phasing down HFC use (from January 2018), many new vehicle manufacturers may be switching to new air conditioning systems using the more environmentally friendly refrigerant R-1234yf, instead of R-134a. The benefits of using R-1234yf "Twelve Thirty Four", as R-1234yf is sometimes known, is an HFO type refrigerant delivering high performance, resulting in a more efficient air-conditioning system, fewer emissions and reduced fuel consumption. Hydrofluoroolefins (HFO's) have a double carbon bond meaning they trap less heat in the atmosphere than Hydrofluorocarbons (HFC's) and break down faster. Importantly, R-1234yf systems are specifically engineered to prevent refrigerant leakage and loss, including into the interior of the vehicle. The leakage of refrigerants contributes considerably to greenhouse gases. Why the switch? Older type refrigerants accumulate in the upper atmosphere as greenhouse gases and contribute significantly to Global Warming for a considerable time. In the mid-'90s, the old R-12 (or Freon), which takes a long time to break down into a non-greenhouse gas, was replaced with R134a, which breaks down much quicker. R-1234yf takes that improvement to the next level, breaking down in less than half the time of R-134a (and a fraction of the time R-12 can take). R-134a will remain in use for some time and a licensed mechanic can still service R-134a air con systems, but new vehicles will likely use the new systems with R-1234yf. Some already are. Irrespective of what type of refrigerant your car air conditioner uses, a car service workshop undertaking air conditioner service must have the right knowledge and equipment to handle these gases responsibly. You should always take your car to a mechanic with the skills and specialist equipment to undertake air conditioning service safely and correctly.
