Consequences of not repairing a slipping clutch: A slipping clutch in a car can easily lead to insufficient driving power, posing safety hazards; the car is highly prone to oil leakage when climbing slopes, potentially causing accidents; prolonged clutch slipping can also severely damage car components, such as the clutch and flywheel. Causes of clutch slipping: Excessive wear of the driven disc friction plate or exposed rivets; the clutch pressure plate spring is too soft or broken; the clutch pedal free travel is too small; oil contamination or aging hardening on the driven disc friction plate; loose bolts connecting the clutch to the flywheel; blocked return oil hole in the clutch master cylinder. Clutch troubleshooting methods: Check the pedal free travel. If the free travel is normal, remove the clutch bottom cover and check whether the bolts connecting the clutch cover to the flywheel are loose. If loose, tighten them; if they do not meet the standard value, adjust them. Check if there is oil splashed from the edges of the clutch friction plate. If oil is present, remove and clean with gasoline or alkaline water, then dry; if severe wear, exposed rivets, aging hardening, burning, or oil saturation are found on the friction plate, replace it with a new one. Check the return oil hole of the clutch master cylinder, and unclog it if blocked.
