Do you drive an Automatic vehicle? Then you might not even know there is a clutch in your vehicle. But without it, the gears in your car will not change. Tyrewise Warana in Warana know all about repairing and servicing these systems including clutches, cables and fluids. Learn more below. What is a clutch? The clutch is one of the most important elements of your vehicles driving operation. Your engine is what causes your wheels to spin, but what happens when your car needs to stop? The engine shouldn't stop spinning but the wheels need to. It's the clutch that allows this to happen. The clutch allows the transfer of power from the engine to the wheels to be interrupted while a gear is being changed or while the car is stationary and the engine continues to run. What is clutch fluid? Some vehicles have hydraulic clutches - when you press the clutch pedal, the clutch fluid moves the pressure from the pedal through to the clutch and disengages the power transmission. Leaking clutch fluid can cause all kinds of problem in your vehicle so it is very important to monitor it regularly. At Tyrewise Warana in Warana we check your clutch fluid, hydraulic system or clutch cables for you in the course of our free 65 Point Vehicle Inspection - which you can request as part of every car service.
 What signs to look for if your clutch is not performing You should have your clutch looked at if: You notice a burnt ‘toast' or ‘burning rubber' smell in your car, or smoke from under vehicle Your vehicle is slipping out of gear for no reason There is jerky or sticky gear operation Your clutch is not disengaging fully, or your clutch is sticking or shuddering If your clutch is showing any of the problems above - it could mean any number of faults. Clutch problems are difficult to diagnose by symptoms alone because many issues cause the same symptoms, depending on the vehicle and type of engine. The best way to deal with clutch shuddering, slipping or noise is contact us at Tyrewise Warana today. We can perform clutch service and repairs on most makes and models right here in our Warana workshop.

Getting a venerable Land Cruiser ready for the road again is no small feat, particularly when it involves the meticulous rebuild of the front differential centre and the overhaul of the front swivel hubs. The Rebuild Begins: Tackling the Front Differential Center The heart of the issue lay within the Land Cruiser's front differential centre, a component crucial for distributing engine power to the wheels while allowing them to rotate at different speeds. Age and rugged use had taken their toll. The initial inspection revealed significant wear and tear— gears ground down from years of adventure, bearings past their prime, and seals no longer up to the task of keeping contaminants out. Our techs meticulously disassembled the differential, cataloguing each part’s condition. The rebuild process involved replacing the worn gears with high-quality counterparts, installing new bearings, and fitting fresh seals to ensure a tight, clean environment. Every step was performed with precision, ensuring the differential would stand up to future demands. Overhauling the Front Swivel Hubs Next came the front swivel hubs—critical for the steering and stability of the vehicle. Similar to the differential, these too showed signs of severe wear. The overhaul process was painstaking, involving the cleaning, inspection, and replacement of key components such as the bearings, races, and seals. Ensuring smooth operation and reliability, the team's attention to detail meant reassembling each part to exact specifications, providing a like-new feel to the steering system. Our methodical approach, combined with an unyielding commitment to  excellence, not only breathed new life into a classic vehicle but also  ensured it's ready for many more years of exploration and adventure. The restoration of the Land Cruiser’s front differential centre and front swivel hubs by Tyrewise Warana technicians stands as a beacon of quality and craftsmanship in the world of 4x4 repairs.

Keep your cool, without global warming. A proactive car air conditioning approach to protecting our environment.  As Australia begins phasing down HFC use (from January 2018), many new vehicle manufacturers may be switching to new air conditioning systems using the more environmentally friendly refrigerant R-1234yf, instead of R-134a. The benefits of using R-1234yf "Twelve Thirty Four", as R-1234yf is sometimes known, is an HFO type refrigerant delivering high performance, resulting in a more efficient air-conditioning system, fewer emissions and reduced fuel consumption. Hydrofluoroolefins (HFO's) have a double carbon bond meaning they trap less heat in the atmosphere than Hydrofluorocarbons (HFC's) and break down faster. Importantly, R-1234yf systems are specifically engineered to prevent refrigerant leakage and loss, including into the interior of the vehicle. The leakage of refrigerants contributes considerably to greenhouse gases. Why the switch? Older type refrigerants accumulate in the upper atmosphere as greenhouse gases and contribute significantly to Global Warming for a considerable time. In the mid-'90s, the old R-12 (or Freon), which takes a long time to break down into a non-greenhouse gas, was replaced with R134a, which breaks down much quicker. R-1234yf takes that improvement to the next level, breaking down in less than half the time of R-134a (and a fraction of the time R-12 can take). R-134a will remain in use for some time and a licensed mechanic can still service R-134a air con systems, but new vehicles will likely use the new systems with R-1234yf. Some already are. Irrespective of what type of refrigerant your car air conditioner uses, a car service workshop undertaking air conditioner service must have the right knowledge and equipment to handle these gases responsibly. You should always take your car to a mechanic with the skills and specialist equipment to undertake air conditioning service safely and correctly.
