DB A slipping clutch isn't always immediately obvious. One of the easiest ways drivers describe it is: the engine revs, but the car doesn't accelerate as it should.
When you're most likely to notice it
- Accelerating hard
- Driving uphill
- Carrying additional weight
- Using higher gears
- Overtaking
- Pulling away
Other symptoms to watch for
A burning smell, difficult gear changes, vibration and unusual pedal behaviour can all accompany a slipping clutch.
Why it shouldn't be ignored
A slipping clutch should be inspected promptly, since continuing to drive can generate additional heat and potentially damage associated components.
DB Autos can inspect a slipping clutch and explain what's needed. Call 01782 844320 or bring your vehicle in.
