What are the symptoms of a slipping car clutch?
1 Answers
The symptoms of a slipping car clutch include: 1. When starting the car, releasing the clutch pedal results in insufficient power or difficulty in starting; 2. While driving, the vehicle speed does not increase correspondingly with the engine speed, leading to insufficient driving power; 3. In severe cases, a burning smell may emanate from the clutch. The causes of clutch slipping are: insufficient pedal travel clearance, broken or disconnected clutch pressure plate, or transmission oil seal leakage causing oil to seep onto the pressure plate over time, which wears down the clutch disc thickness, reducing the pressure on the pressure plate and resulting in slipping that prevents normal power transmission to the gearbox.
