The Perfect Time to Buy a Ford Probe Clutch Kit
Clutch problems are fairly common for old cars that have been driven for thousands of miles. If you continue to use your aging Ford Probe with a clutch that's nearing failure, you're putting yourself in a very dangerous situation because this is an accident's waiting to happen. It's important that you're able to detect the symptoms of an assembly needing a replacement to avoid this kind of situation. The following are some of the common problems that tell you that it's the perfect time to get a clutch kit for your Ford:
Slipping clutch
Slipping is one indicator of a failing clutch. This happens when the friction material between the clutch disc, pressure plate, and flywheel is excessively worn. These parts don't create enough grip for maximum performance. These only barely touch but not to the point where complete contact is made. You can tell that your clutch is beginning to slip if you feel that the car shakes and jerks every time you change gears. Another sign is when it feels as if the engine's working too much to provide needed power even at a very low speed before it eventually dies. All these indicate that it's time to buy a new clutch kit.
Sticking clutch
If slipping is the loss of contact between clutch components, sticking is when the same parts don't disengage even when the pedal's stepped on and the clutch is supposed to be released. One surefire way to tell if the one on your Ford is experiencing this is if the car continues to creep at a low speed even when the clutch pedal is pressed. It's as if the gear's still engaged.
Disengaged clutch
The worst symptom of a bad clutch is if the assembly perpetually doesn't engage even if the pedal's free. This is the upgraded version of a slipping clutch. It's like the components are stuck in place or simply don't want to completely mesh. You can tell that your Ford's suffering from this when it really labors to go uphill or move forward when creeping. If your car also dies easily with little to no trouble, then the clutch has failed you.
Though the Ford Probe is one great sporty ride, it doesn't mean you should drive it as if you're participating in a race. One of the things that may give you lots of problems when you abuse the car too much is its clutch assembly. This is usually one of the mechanisms of a car with a stick shift to give way. However, if you are gentle and caring with the handling of the Probe, the same parts can last as long as the life of the vehicle. The following are four habits that can delay your need to buy a clutch kit.
Fully release the clutch pedal.
One of the most important driving habits to observe in order to prolong the life of your Probe's clutch is to fully release the pedal when you're moving or not changing gears. Avoid letting your foot rest on the pedal, and always remember to rest it on the foot board. Any pressure, even if it's a slight amount, can easily wear the friction material between the clutch and the flywheel.
Smoothly apply the clutch.
Don't just drop the clutch when you want to move the car from a standstill. Only race cars have the full capability of doing that. Instead, engage the clutch by carefully releasing the pedal. Doing this prevents jerking the Probe and jolting the assembly. It also gives the clutch assembly enough time to properly mesh with each other for smooth operation.
Don't slip the clutch.
Slipping the clutch is done when you slightly let your foot off the pedal to make the Probe creep at a slow speed. The parts of the clutch are only slightly in contact with each other, and all the movement is caused by the light slip. This usually happens when you're driving uphill or in a traffic jam. You can prevent the need for extended slipping by keeping a fair amount of distance to the car ahead of you so that you have enough room to move your car with the pace of a fully engaged clutch.
Don't accelerate when shifting.
It's a practical habit to not accelerate every time you shift. Releasing the gas pedal keeps the RPM at a stable and tolerable level to engage the new gear at. Another benefit of this practice is that you don't waste gas when it's not needed at all.
