If you drive a standard shift car, truck, or SUV, there’s a good chance reliability was a factor in your decision to get a stick shift. However, from time to time, even a manual transmission needs to be serviced; when it does, Autoworks in Ithaca has you covered.

Every manual transmission-equipped vehicle has a slightly different clutch setup - some are hydraulic, some are cable-driven, and some utilize levers and linkages. On most transmissions, there are adjustment points that must be perfectly calibrated to provide the best driving experience possible. Pedal height, engagement and disengagement points, and pedal throw all factor into a car’s drivability, and slight adjustments to the clutch mechanism typically have a dramatic effect.

Over time, these adjustments change, whether from wear and tear, vibration, or the constant use of the clutch. When this happens, it’s important to have it precisely re-calibrated. Maintaining a well-adjusted clutch keeps your car comfortable and contributes to the overall driving experience of your car, and extends the life of your clutch by thousands of miles.

If your vehicle doesn’t drive as well as it used to, and you think the clutch may be to blame, a simple adjustment may be all that’s needed to get your car back into shape. Our expert mechanics have the finely tuned skills necessary to get your car shifting just right. For all your transmission maintenance and repair needs, and for the best transmission service in Ithaca, call or visit Autoworks today.
