Speedy Clutch

I believe that every company should have a mission statement, to define the purpose of the organisation, to serve as an internal goal for its employees and owners alike, to provide focus to assure past, present and future customers that the service and longevity of repair they receive is no accident.

This is our statement:
‘Clutch Fitting Excellence – Guaranteed!' 'I think that says it all' Stuart M. Nutter, Partner, Speedy Clutch.

I would encourage any potential customer looking for a clutch Specialist to ask friends/other vehicle repairers for their recommendations for a suitable repairer, most garages don't want clutch replacements, but usually know who you could and who you couldn't trust. Search on the Internet for satisfied customers (you will find very few),Satisfied customers very rarely have the time or inclination to leave positive comments...BUT a dissatisfied customer will tell thousands and leave plenty of negative comments. They are not hard to find. we fit a minimum of 1,000 clutches per year, are Clutch only specialists, we don't do ANYTHING else. Stuart Nutter Owner/partner Speedy clutch

Gear Boxes

At Speedy Clutch we have for a long time repaired gearboxes using new parts from the vehicle manufacturer, or with bearings direct from the manufacturer. Most gearboxes have similar faults. We can repair a whole range of gearboxes at great prices:

Mk 2 Puntos often suffer from input bearing failure causing oil contamination. Repairs from £165 plus VAT. To fit a new diff pack complete with carrier planet gears costs £225 plus VAT.

Peugeot 206 and Rover 200/400 have similar problems and similar repair costs.

BMW Mini 01 to 03, genuine new diff carrier and diff bearings £275 plus VAT

Prices do not include fitting. If the gearbox is beyond repair we can supply a new gearbox:

BMW [supplied] Mini gearbox - £1200 five speed [ example ]

Many people would go for a re-conditioned gearbox. However, our experience is that theses boxes have a poor record as they are a mixture of secondhand parts with new bearings. For the past few years at Speedy Clutch we have been fitting gearboxes reclaimed from accident damaged vehicles and for older vehicles, gearboxes from trusted dismantlers. These gearboxes have never been stripped down. These gearboxes offer a great option for quality and price (costing about 2/3 of a reconditioned gearbox)

If you source your own gearbox at Speedy Clutch we are able to fit it for you.

Remember fitting anything but a brand new gearbox does carry risks, but if you don’t want to spend £600 - £1200, Speedy Clutch can help.

Technical Information

The Basic principles of clutch operations have stayed the same for many years. Only two things have drastically changed.

Dual Mass Flywheels

Fitted to the rear of the engine, usually some petrol engined vehicles of 1800cc & above, virtually all common rail diesels

Concentric Slave Cylinders

Always positioned/bolted to gearbox, needs gearbox removal to replace - comes complete with release bearing.

Adjust the diaphragm spring setting as the lining wears down. The result is that the pedal and contact pressure forces remain constant. This extends the service life of the clutch and also saves the driver's left foot.

As well as being City & Guilds qualified we have over 70 years combined clutch replacement experience - we really are the experts.

Since moving to our Abbeyhills site from Hive Street in April 2005 Speedyclutch has gone from strength to strength. Not only are we carrying out more clutch replacements, we now offer a gearbox repair/replacement service. As one of the few independent garages we offer a service second to none, and this has led to a great number of enquiries by telephone as more and more people experience Speedyclutch!

A big thank you to all, those who value our service and those who have recommended Speedyclutch to others.

We always have a competent person to answer the phone, to discuss in depth the best way to deal with your clutch problem. This will allow us to diagnose the problem and give an accurate quote – we may find that the fault is easier to repair than first thought.

When you contact us remember to have as much information to hand including car registration, make and model – the more information you have the better it is. You can call me up to 9pm on any weekday on 07973 507474 – you can be sure of my personal attention
