What are the symptoms of a slipping clutch disc?

[DelAdelyn]

The following are the symptoms of a slipping clutch disc: 1. When you step hard on the accelerator, the engine speed increases rapidly, but the vehicle speed does not increase accordingly. You can clearly feel a lack of acceleration power. 2. When starting the car with the clutch pedal fully released, you still feel insufficient starting power or difficulty in starting. 3. The slipping is more noticeable when the car is heavily loaded going uphill or driving on muddy or soft roads. In severe cases, a burning smell may emit from the clutch. 4. When braking while driving, the engine does not stall but continues to run normally. A slipping clutch can easily cause the following hazards: 1. Power loss, energy dissipation, rolling back on slopes, insufficient reverse traction, and weak driving performance. 2. Incomplete separation can cause instant damage to the transmission gears, drive shaft, and differential, and prolonged use can lead to engine damage.
