3 Main Symptoms of a Worn Out ClutchIf you notice any of these issues whilst driving, it might be because you have a worn clutch. If so it may be time to replace your clutch.
Burning SmellIf you happen to notice your car emitting a burning smell, similar to burning rubber, then this is a sign that your clutch is overheating and your clutch plate is beginning to wear and tear. This is usually caused by riding the clutch and is most common in slow-moving traffic. Slipping out of GearA clutch that slips out of gear during regular driving, even if it’s only occasionally, should be replaced. It can indicate that your clutch is worn out or can be a potential sign that there is an oil leak coming from the crankshaft that is lubricating the clutch plate. Soft or “Spongy” ClutchA soft clutch is an early sign that your clutch is beginning to fail. Try and drive your car for a short distance and keep your attention to how your clutch feels and how far you let the clutch out before the gear catches. If you have to, allow your clutch to come out most of the way. That is also a sign of a worn clutch. TestIf you’re still unsure about whether or not your clutch is ready for a change, the next time you’re on the road you can conduct a simple road test. When in first gear, rev your engine and change directly into fifth – if your engine continues to rev high, it means that your gear has not caught on properly and the clutch has some kind of problem. |
