The clutch is designed to increase efficiency and keep you safe. The reason we use the heavy-duty truck clutch or another clutch, whether manually or automatically adjusted, is to make sure that when we're on the road, our engine moves our wheels when we want, and only at the speed we want.

    In layman's terms, just because our wheels are stopped doesn't mean we want our engines to stop, and if our engines are running, it doesn't necessarily mean that we want our wheels to be churning. This is more common in heavy trucking as we want you to move your cargo as efficiently and smoothly as possible.

    Do I need to replace the clutch?

    Of course, after enough time or you start having transmission problems. The following are warning signs of a clutch failure on a heavy-duty vehicle:

    1、Your truck engine is running, but your truck can't keep up

    2、 Your clutch pedal makes more noise than the rest of the truck

    3、Pedaling feels unnatural, either wobbly or too stiff

    If you're dealing with a hydraulic linkage, a self-adjusting clutch is your best bet. With a self-adjusting clutch, you don't have to make regular clutch adjustments, which will eliminate any downtime that comes with manually adjusting the clutch.

    A self-adjusting clutch works like this: When the clutch disengages, the release bearing's travel eventually increases beyond its built-in idle window. The self-adjusting clutch will compensate for this wear and relocate the release bearing.
