Clutch covers

The clutch mechanism disconnects the engine flywheel from the gearbox of your Jaguar XJS. It is the connection between the engine and the gearbox.

Type of clutch:
Friction: The force of friction ensures the transmission of torque
Hydraulic: The flow of fluid ensures the transmission of torque

Signs of a defective clutch:
-Partial disengagement causing the vehicle to lose gear with additional noises or vibrations, or if the pedal is more difficult to depress or release
-Partial disengagement resulting in a burning smell in the car, higher fuel consumption, loss of power or overheating of the engine
