A clutch change on the BMW MINI takes about 6 hours as the front subframe has to be removed in order to access the gearbox and clutch – so our quote is 6 hours labour plus parts.
The clutch engages and disengages the engine. When engaged the engine powers the driven wheels – when disengaged the engine can rev freely without the car moving. When a clutch has worn out you will be unable to engage or connect the engine to the driven wheels.
The clutch disc is simply put a ‘friction’ disc that, when active, presses against the flywheel (which is directly connected to the crankshaft) by way of the pressure plate.
