Clutch Problems and Repair
The first thing to understand about clutches is that they need to be spotlessly clean. Even the smallest bit of dirt or grit will send all your hard work to an early grave. Grease even from your fingers will make the clutch squeal or the car jerk upon take off and shift changes. One needs to give it the proper care to keep this area exceptionally clean. Some of the likely causes for clutch problems are slippage, clutch release problems and clutch chatter.
There are several internal failures that can cause a clutch to slip, but they all result in the same solution. Replacing the clutch. Be sure the servicing technician checks closely for oil contamination. Clutch failure is often caused by engine or transmission oil contaminating the clutch friction material. If there is oil contamination, be sure you fix the oil leak before completing the clutch replacement. Once clutch linings are contaminated, there is no way to clean them. Replacing the clutch is the only way to restore proper clutch operation.

Manual: Most manufacturers recommend that manual transmission fluid be changed every 30,000 to 60,000 miles. Under heavy-duty use, some manufacturers suggest changing transmission fluid every 15,000 miles.
Automatic: Service intervals for an automatic transmission vary from every 30,000 miles to never changing it at all. The typical service interval is 60,000 to 100,000 miles. Changing it more often does no harm. In other words, changing your transmission fluid at the correct interval is a good investment.
