What is a clutch > A clutch is a simple device though not exclusive to automobile which allow two gears/shaft of diffrent speed to be synchronized in a smooth maner.
Re: Ask your Mechanic ! ! ! Thread by larrixauto2017(m): 7:05am On Mar 15, 2019
Types of clutch > 1) dry clutch 2) wet clutch
Re: Ask your Mechanic ! ! ! Thread by larrixauto2017(m): 7:13am On Mar 15, 2019
Dry clutch > Are types of clutch located in the manual transmission they need no oil to run. that is when spoilt they bring up some rattling sound and noisy sound when spoilt or used rough
Re: Ask your Mechanic ! ! ! Thread by larrixauto2017(m): 7:20am On Mar 15, 2019
Wet clutch > The wet clutch is also call the torque converter in an automatic transmision. The wet clutch is where the entire assembly is immersed in engine oil and is lubricated by it due to viscosity of the oil some power loss can be attributed to this approach but they significantly improve the life of the clutch and reduce the sound (noise)

the car hardly have an electrical issue cause the electrical side of the car is very complex due to the modules in it. But no matter how long it may be one day it will actually develop a fault in the electrical side. When it develop that fault i will urge you to take it to a highly modern technician that knows what is doing, but if you allow some local electrician if they distabalized the system for you. I bet you will surely hate the car. Thank you

Thanks for your prompt response.

You said the power window control can not be replaced?
So does that mean my window glass would permanently remain windup?

As for the oil leak, since I noticed it, my power steering has become stiffer so I'm suspecting power steering fluid leak.

My location is Abuja.

for the power window panel i mean it can not be repair but replace. But for the leaking oil you said it is the steering fluid which only have three place it can be from which is. 1). The hose that carry the fluid from the power steering pump to the steering rack to the reservior might have burst which it need replace 2). If is from the power steering pump or the rack i will tell you to replace that and never to repair cause it is waste of time and money. Am in lagos. Thank you
