Product Overview

The clutch, OEM number 2996697, connects the engine to the gearbox and lets the driver disconnect the two to start, stop, and change gears. It takes heavy friction and heat every time the vehicle pulls away or shifts, so the friction surfaces wear down over time, which makes it a major replacement item in the transmission and drivetrain category.

A worn clutch slips under load, shifts poorly, and can leave a vehicle unable to work, so a precisely made replacement matters. GSK Auto manufactures this clutch to OEM specification at our Ningbo, China facility, with every unit tested before packing. We supply at wholesale volume with low MOQ and support private label packaging, with our team available to confirm the OEM number match before shipping.

What Is a Clutch?

Function: The clutch transmits engine torque to the gearbox and allows the driver to interrupt that drive when starting, stopping, or changing gears.

Working Principle: When the pedal is released, spring pressure clamps a friction disc between the engine flywheel and a pressure plate, so power flows through to the gearbox. When the pedal is pressed, the pressure is released and the disc spins freely, breaking the connection.

Importance: The clutch controls how smoothly power reaches the wheels. A healthy clutch means smooth take-off and clean gear changes, while a worn one wastes power and can damage the flywheel and gearbox.

Common Failures & Signs: Clutch slipping, with the engine revving but the vehicle not accelerating. Burning smell after hard use. Judder or shaking when pulling away. Hard, spongy, or high-biting clutch pedal. Difficulty engaging gears. Noise when the pedal is pressed or released.
