How to Care for and Recognize if You Encounter These Symptoms, Your Car’s Clutch May Be Having Issues

1. Clutch Slippage: The initial warning sign indicating that your clutch is on its way out is clutch slippage. Clutch slippage can occur in two scenarios:

1.1. Clutch Wear: This is often caused by a worn-out clutch disc. As the clutch approaches the end of its lifespan, slippage becomes more noticeable.

1.2. Engine Overpowering Clutch: This is commonly found in vehicles with engine modifications. If your vehicle isn’t modified, clutch wear due to a worn-out clutch disc is the likely cause of slippage, indicating that
something is amiss with your car.

2. Decreased Speed at the Same Engine RPM: In some car models, you may not notice clutch slippage, particularly in automatic transmission vehicles. This could be the second symptom, especially in automatic transmission cars, making it challenging to detect clutch slippage. Sometimes, if you observe that the engine rpm remains the same but the vehicle speed is higher than usual, or the engine rpm remains the same but the vehicle speed is lower than usual, it’s a warning sign of clutch slippage.

3. Slow Hill Climbing Ability: Sometimes, even if you haven’t noticed the aforementioned initial symptoms, you might observe that your car struggles to climb hills. If you find that your vehicle begins to ascend inclines more slowly than usual or requires downshifting to maintain speed, when previously it didn’t, it could be an early indication of clutch wear, which could eventually lead to clutch failure.
