We supply clutch parts for trucks, trailers, buses, and coaches including: clutch covers, clutch discs, and release bearings. We also rebuild clutches. Purpose of a clutch The purpose of a clutch is to act as a link between the engine and the transmission. A clutch makes it possible to start comfortably from standstill, as well as interrupting the flow of power between engine and transmission whilst changing gears, or idling. Constituent parts of a clutch Clutches usually consist of a clutch cover, clutch disc, and release bearing, although various alternative constructions do exist depending on application needs. All clutch components are tuned to reach the same life span, and in the event that a clutch component breaks down, it is strongly recommended that the entire clutch is replaced. At Drakefield we can supply clutch parts for all makes and models of truck, trailer, bus and coach, and, because of our status as authorised UK dealers for Lipe, and Sachs, you can rest assured that any part we supply comes with a full technical and after sales warranty from the manufacturer concerned. Clutch rebuilding service Whilst modern clutches are easy to source and replace, those for older vehicles can be more problematic. At Drakefield we have recognised this, and as a result, offer a specialist clutch rebuilding service to customers when replacement parts may not be an option.
