Do you have a manual transmission car? Then the vehicle is probably also equipped with a clutch rod. The clutch rod is the extension of the gear lever. This part ensures that the operation of the gear lever is transferred to the gearbox. The gearbox is located under the car and must be connected to the lever. When you put the car into gear, the clutch rod transfers this movement to the gearbox and it will shift into the correct gear.
Clutch rod broken
Is the clutch rod broken? Then you should replace it as soon as possible. When the rod is broken, you can no longer (properly) shift, which can lead to dangerous situations. Symptoms of a broken clutch rod include a loose shift lever, the car slipping out of gear, a crooked shift lever, or in the worst case, being unable to shift at all. A defective rod can be caused by a lot of shifting and driving small pieces. This can lead to slack in the rods more quickly and they can come loose or break. In the event of a defective clutch rod or if you notice that the shifting is no longer smooth, it is important to replace the part as soon as possible.
Replace clutch rod
You can replace the clutch rod or other parts of the transmission system yourself. However, this requires some knowledge and technical insight. It is also useful to use a bridge, because you will have to work under the car as well as in the interior. The degree of difficulty in replacing the part does of course depend on the car type. Do you prefer to have the job done at the garage? In that case, make sure that you purchase the necessary parts cheaply from Winparts and deliver them to the garage yourself. This often saves you a lot of costs.
