If the engine tachometer and speedometer do not increase proportionally, it can be determined that the clutch is slipping. When the clutch slips, the car will suddenly lose power, fuel consumption will increase, and the clutch will wear out faster. Below are specific details about clutch slipping: Clutch slipping caused by improper use: 1. Engaging or disengaging gears before the clutch is fully depressed. 2. Driving for long periods with the clutch partially engaged or coasting with the clutch pedal depressed. 3. Engaging or disengaging gears incompletely and then abruptly applying throttle, causing abnormal wear on the clutch plates.
