We come to you for clutch cable repair
If you can't get into gear or your car won't even move, Lube Mobile can replace a clutch cable on your driveway at home!
Your car's clutch cable acts like a cord that connects your foot to the engine. Pressing the clutch pedal disengages the engine from your wheels and allows you to change gears smoothly. If your clutch cable becomes worn, changing gears will become much harder and your clutch pedal will start to feel stiff.
If left alone, your clutch pedal will start going to the floor and you won't get into gear at all, leaving you stranded. Lube Mobile can come to you and replace your clutch cable fast. Our vans are fully equipped to replace a worn clutch cable. Once a new clutch cable has been fitted, we will also bleed your brakes as well as your entire clutch system.

How much does clutch repair cost?
We always strive to give you a fixed price up front and let you be in control of costs.
While a total clutch replacement can cost from $500 to $1,200, it largely depends on the make and model of your car. For 4WDs, performance cars and more exotic vehicles, the cost of a clutch alone can reach $2,000. With any clutch replacement the largest cost is labour, as it will take time to disassemble and replace all the clutch components. As most clutches are reasonably sturdy, you should only need to replace it every 200,000 kilometres, or roughly once over the lifetime of most cars. If you have recently purchased a car that is nearing this limit, it's a good idea to book a mobile clutch service to ensure that everything is working safely.
Once we've arrived at your location and inspected your vehicle and your entire clutch system, we will provide you with an itemised quote of the work required including the cost of any new parts. Because the work is done at your location, you can ask questions. This keeps you in control of costs and helps you decide if repairing or replacing the clutch is the most cost-effective solution for the long-term life of your car.

What are the signs of a worn or failing clutch cable?
A failing clutch cable can make driving more difficult and may eventually leave you unable to change gears. Common symptoms include:
- A stiff or heavy clutch pedal
- A clutch pedal that feels loose or floppy
- Difficulty changing gears
- The clutch engaging very high or very low
- Squeaking or grinding noises when pressing the clutch
- The clutch pedal sticking or not returning properly
If you're experiencing any of these issues, we recommend having the clutch system inspected as soon as possible.
What causes a clutch cable to fail?
Like many vehicle components, clutch cables wear out over time. Common causes include:
- Normal wear and tear
- Cable stretching with age
- Corrosion or rust inside the cable
- Lack of lubrication
- Exposure to dirt, moisture and road grime
Regular inspections can help identify wear before the cable fails completely.
