HOW LONG SHOULD A CLUTCH LAST TOYOTA Camry VII Saloon (_V5_) (09.2011 - ...)

The clutch on a 2015 Toyota Camry, when used in the UK, can last between 60,000 and 100,000 miles (approximately 96,000 and 160,000 kilometres), but this can vary depending on driving style and driving conditions.

More specifically, here are the factors that affect clutch life:

*
*Driving style: *
Frequent hard starts, stops and starts, and stop-start city driving (especially in traffic jams) will significantly reduce clutch life compared to motorway driving.

*
*Driving conditions: *
In the UK, particularly in large cities with heavy traffic, clutches are subject to more wear than in rural areas.

*
*Maintenance: *
Regular maintenance, including checking and replacing brake fluid, can extend the life of your clutch.

Signs of clutch wear:
* Difficulty shifting gears, especially from first to second.
* Jerks appearing when shifting gears.
* Extraneous noises when squeezing the clutch or when shifting gears.
* Increase in engine speed when pressing the gas pedal, but the car does not accelerate properly.
* The clutch pedal becomes too soft or, conversely, too stiff.
* The car begins to "slip" when accelerating.

Recommendations:
* If you notice any of the above signs, it is recommended to contact a car service for clutch diagnostics.

* If you drive a lot in the city, you may want to consider replacing the clutch more often than the manufacturers recommend for standard operating conditions.

* Avoid abrupt starts and braking to extend the life of the clutch.

* Regularly check the brake fluid level, as it also affects the operation of the clutch.
