You may be physically able to move the car with a slipping clutch, but that doesn't make continuing to drive it a good idea.
What can happen
- Loss of effective acceleration
- Excessive heat building in the clutch
- Further damage to associated components
- The condition deteriorating rapidly
- Reduced control in demanding situations, such as overtaking or hills
What to do instead
If the clutch is significantly slipping or you cannot change gears properly, get professional advice rather than attempting to squeeze another few weeks out of it.
DB Autos can inspect a slipping clutch and advise on the right next step. Call 01782 844320 or bring your vehicle in.
