What are the symptoms of clutch slipping in an automatic transmission car?
1 Answers
Here are the symptoms of clutch slipping in an automatic transmission: 1. When you quickly press the accelerator, the tachometer does not increase smoothly but suddenly jumps from 2500 RPM to over 3000 RPM, yet the vehicle speed does not increase accordingly. 2. During acceleration, when you press the accelerator pedal, the engine RPM rises quickly, but the vehicle speed does not increase, and the car moves slowly. 3. Fuel consumption increases significantly. 4. When going uphill or under heavy load, the engine RPM is high, but the car feels underpowered, and the speed increases slowly. The simplest way to determine clutch slipping in an automatic transmission is to observe the gauges: at 50KM/h in 5th gear, if you press the accelerator hard and the engine RPM and speedometer do not increase proportionally, it indicates clutch slipping.
