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. Auto Plus SA in Munno Para 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 Auto Plus SA in Munno Para 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 Auto Plus SA today. We can perform clutch service and repairs on most makes and models right here in our Munno Para workshop.

Auto Plus SA Car Servicing – Tailored for Every Driver

A customer recently brought in her beloved 1969 Holden, a classic car she’d owned for some time and taken great pride in. The vehicle had undergone an engine swap, replacing the original motor with a modern fuel-injected V8. This modification came with an engineer’s certificate, giving her confidence that the car was in excellent condition and ready for the road. As a passionate enthusiast of vintage vehicles, she was excited to enjoy the blend of old-school charm and contemporary performance. However, as with any classic car, appearances and paperwork can sometimes mask underlying issues. While the Holden looked pristine and seemed to perform well at a glance, she wanted the reassurance of a professional inspection to ensure everything was functioning as it should. What started as a routine check-up turned into a discovery of multiple hidden problems, some of which raised serious safety concerns. Classic cars often have their quirks, and modifications can sometimes lead to unintended complications. This particular case highlighted the importance of thoroughly assessing every aspect of a vehicle, regardless of its external condition or certifications. What unfolded during the inspection underscored the significance of experienced hands and attention to detail when working with vehicles of this era. Hidden Safety Risks During the inspection of the 1969 Holden, several significant safety concerns were uncovered, the most alarming being intermittent brake failure. This issue, which posed a serious risk to both the driver and other road users, was not immediately apparent during casual use or initial assessments. Despite the engineer’s certificate accompanying the vehicle, the inspection revealed that some components within the braking system were worn, poorly fitted, or improperly adjusted. These deficiencies were likely overlooked during the approval process, as engineer certifications often focus on ensuring that modifications meet specific technical standards rather than conducting a comprehensive evaluation of the entire vehicle’s condition. These issues had remained hidden due to their intermittent or internal nature, meaning they would not be immediately obvious without a detailed examination. While the engineer’s certificate confirmed the compliance of the engine modification, it did not account for the overall safety and condition of other critical systems. This case underscores the importance of a thorough, professional inspection to ensure all aspects of a vehicle are safe and in proper working order, regardless of external assurances. Expertise in Vintage Car Safety Inspections Auto Plus SA has built a reputation over decades for their unparalleled expertise in the automotive industry, boasting 70 years of combined experience amongst our dedicated team. Our knowledge spans across all types of motor vehicles, from modern cars to vintage and classic models, ensuring that no issue is too complex or obscure for them to address. This depth of experience is especially critical when dealing with older vehicles, as they require a specialised understanding of mechanical systems, maintenance techniques, and the nuances of vintage car engineering. Our 65 Point Vehicle Inspection process ensures that even the most subtle or hidden issues are identified, giving owners a clear and accurate understanding of their car’s health. Unlike a simple visual check or a surface-level assessment, this inspection delves into areas that are often overlooked, such as the suspension system, braking components, wiring, and engine performance. For older cars, which often require more hands-on care due to wear and age-related degradation, this level of detail is invaluable. The 1969 Holden case serves as an excellent example of the importance of a meticulous inspection process. Despite the presence of an engineer’s certificate confirming the vehicle’s compliance with technical standards following the engine swap, Auto Plus SA’s 65-point inspection revealed other critical safety issues such as the intermittent brake failure. By addressing these problems early, the team not only ensured the car’s safety but also preserved its reliability and performance for years to come. This highlights the real value of their inspection service: it provides peace of mind to vehicle owners by uncovering issues that might not be immediately visible and preventing potentially costly or dangerous consequences down the line.

For classic car enthusiasts, working with a team like Auto Plus SA means entrusting their cherished vehicles to professionals who truly understand and respect the intricacies of vintage engineering.

Classic Car Safety: A Case Study

Buying a classic or vintage vehicle is more than just acquiring a piece of history—it’s an investment. While the gleam of a polished exterior may catch your eye, what lies beneath can significantly impact your purchase.  Skipping a pre-purchase inspection could mean unexpected repairs, safety risks, or even discovering the vehicle isn't as original as advertised. That’s why ensuring the mechanical integrity and reliability of your potential classic is crucial. Auto Plus SA specialises in comprehensive pre-purchase inspections, helping buyers uncover hidden issues and make informed decisions. Protect your investment and enjoy your dream car with confidence. Key Areas Checked in Classic Car Inspections During a pre-purchase inspection at Auto Plus SA, several critical components of a classic or vintage vehicle are thoroughly examined to ensure its reliability and safety:  The engine is assessed for signs of wear, leaks, and overall condition, as it serves as the heart of the vehicle.  The transmission is inspected for smooth operation and potential issues like slipping or abnormal noises, which can indicate costly repairs.  The suspension is checked for stability and alignment to ensure a comfortable and safe ride.  The braking system is evaluated to confirm that it performs effectively, a key factor in preventing accidents.  Electrical wiring is inspected to detect any frayed or outdated connections that could cause malfunctions or pose fire risks. Check and record history codes Perform and system scan of your cars ECU to see if there have been any trouble codes in the cars history The undercarriage is scrutinised for rust, damage, or structural concerns, as this area can reveal hidden problems.  By addressing these components, Auto Plus SA helps buyers secure vehicles that are both safe and dependable. Risks of Skipping Vehicle Inspections Before Buying Purchasing a classic or vintage vehicle without a pre-purchase inspection can lead to a host of costly and frustrating problems. Hidden mechanical issues, such as engine wear, transmission faults, or suspension problems, might not be immediately noticeable but could result in expensive repairs down the road.  Outdated or non-compliant components, like braking systems or electrical wiring, may fail to meet modern safety standards, putting both the driver and others on the road at risk. Rust or structural damage to the undercarriage can weaken the vehicle’s integrity, compromising safety and long-term durability.  Additionally, unforeseen repair expenses can quickly exceed initial expectations, straining budgets and turning a dream purchase into a financial burden. Without a proper inspection, there’s also the risk of acquiring a vehicle that has been improperly restored or modified, reducing its authenticity and overall value. Skipping this crucial step can ultimately jeopardise your investment and ownership experience. Advantages of Auto Plus SA Pre-Purchase Inspections Getting a pre-purchase inspection at Auto Plus SA offers significant advantages for classic and vintage vehicle buyers. By identifying hidden mechanical or structural issues early, buyers can avoid costly surprises and negotiate repairs or price adjustments upfront.

Ensuring the vehicle’s safety, reliability, and authenticity protects your financial investment and provides peace of mind.  With our expertise, Auto Plus SA equips buyers to make confident decisions and secure a vehicle they can truly enjoy.
