Essential Maintenance Tips for Your IVECO Daily Genuine Clutch
IVECO Daily drivers choose the Genuine IVECO Clutch for optimal driving performance and safety.
When it comes to vehicle performance, few components play as critical a role as the clutch.
In this guide, we’ll share essential maintenance tips for your IVECO Daily Clutch, explain why choosing genuine parts matters, and highlight how regular care can extend your vehicle's lifespan.
Understanding the IVECO Daily Clutch
The clutch allows us to change gear through disconnecting the engine power to the wheels. Acting as the mechanical bridge between the engine and the gearbox, the clutch ensures smooth power transmission, optimal drivability, and protection for other components.
The clutch system in your IVECO Daily is composed of three main parts:
Clutch Disc: Facilitates power transfer between the engine and the gearbox using friction material
Clutch Cover Assembly: Applies the necessary pressure to maintain power transmission
Clutch Release Bearing: Enables the disengagement of the clutch for smooth gear shifts
Each component plays a vital role in ensuring driving comfort, reducing vibrations, and maintaining driveline safety. However, like all mechanical systems, regular maintenance is key to best performance.
What's the difference between a wet and a dry clutch?
An oil coating on the wet clutch is what separates the two. The oil is used to cool the clutch plates and prevent the components from excessive temperatures. Wet clutches are known for being quieter than their dry counterparts and are typically used in motorbikes and cars.
Key Maintenance Tips for Your IVECO Daily Clutch
Here are 5 top tips to get the most from your IVECO Daily clutch.
1. Use Only Genuine IVECO Clutch Parts
Genuine IVECO parts are specifically designed and tested for IVECO vehicles. Independent tests by DEKRA have shown IVECO Genuine clutches outperform competitors in terms of durability, performance, and temperature control, even under extreme conditions.
2. Monitor Clutch Performance
Be attentive to signs of clutch underperformance, such as:
- Difficulty in changing gears
- Unusual noises when engaging/disengaging the clutch
- Slipping clutch under load (clutch may feel loose or sticky when pressed)
If you notice any of these symptoms, consult your IVECO specialist immediately.

3. Avoid Excessive Clutch Slipping
Excessive clutch slipping occurs when the clutch remains partially engaged, leading to increased friction and overheating. This can drastically shorten the clutch's lifespan.
You can avoid excessive clutch slipping by:
- Removing your foot from the clutch when you are not using it
- Using the handbrake when stopped
- Avoiding rapid acceleration and deceleration
4. Follow Manufacturer-Recommended Service Intervals
IVECO recommends adhering to scheduled maintenance checks to ensure your clutch remains in top condition. During service appointments, have a professional inspect the clutch system for wear and tear.
5. Replace the Entire Clutch Kit Together
When it's time to replace your clutch, it's crucial to change the entire clutch kit, including the disc, mechanism, and flywheel bearing. Replacing individual components can lead to uneven wear, frequent breakdowns, and additional labour costs.
Why Choose IVECO Genuine Clutches?
Only genuine clutches are specifically designed to ensure the best performance for the vehicle.
1. Superior Comfort and Smooth Driving Experience
The wave design of the clutch disc's cushion plate ensures smooth engagement, while the high-quality friction material minimises noise and vibration.
2. Enhanced Safety
IVECO Genuine Clutches excel in high-stress scenarios, such as steep inclines or heavy loads, maintaining optimal temperature levels and reducing the risk of sudden failures.
3. Maximum Performance and Efficiency
With precise engineering and design tailored for the IVECO Daily, these clutches ensure top-notch performance, minimal slipping, and efficient power transmission.
4. Longer Lifespan and Cost Savings
Temperature control is critical for clutch longevity. IVECO Genuine Clutches are tested to maintain lower operating temperatures compared to competitors, reducing wear and preventing early failure.
5. Superior to other manufacturers
Independent tests conducted by DEKRA illustrate the superiority of IVECO Genuine Clutches. Key findings include:
- Lower operating temperatures under stress
- Reduced slipping and smoother engagement
- Longer lifespan compared to non-genuine alternatives
