How To Tell If Your Car Has A Slipping Clutch-Easy Test
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 23 ส.ค. 2024
- This is an easy way to tell if your car has a slipping clutch! It is a very simple test that you can do. Get the car revving low (between 2k and 3k RPMs), and floor the throttle of the car. If your RPMs jump up and your speed doesn't jump up as fast, your car's clutch is definitely slipping, and you will probably need a new clutch soon. Sorry about the bad camera quality, but it was quite hard to explain, demonstrate, and film at the same time!

You sound like Badger from breaking bad man😂😂
He actually does hahaha 😆
Lolll
i was about to comment this 😂
driving at night in the middle of a city, accelerating, talking and explaining, recording a video... talk about multitasking
_"Yeah, this is Big Brain Time"_
Driving a manual too
Honda drivers in a nutshell
While having a gone clutch
I tell my wife this all the time. She doesn't get it. It's possible to multitask 😂
Great, realistic video that we can identify with rather than someone trying to explain it. Great job!!!
My '99 Civic has 241,000 miles on the original clutch. I'm kind of amazed its still going.
They can even go to 350,000 miles maybe more if u take care of it
+Jordan Aurelio 👍 Great to know. I plan on squeezing every mile I can out of my Civic!
its called you know how to drive
My 05 got 300,000 and I guess it’s still goin as well
I think it's called driving like a grandma not know how to drive. If you have any sort of passion inside of you for driving a car you will abuse your clutch from time to time.
i wish more people made homemade videos like this with pure information rather than sponsor agendas and trying to hit a certain amount of watchtime
HEY!!! THANK YOU FOR POSTING THIS. I am 41 and very owned a manual transmission. After watching your video - I instantly knew what my problem was. THANK YOU!!
🤣😭👍
Even if you rpm’s go straight to redline does the same thing apply I have a turbocharged car
@@MAdGamer1413 Yes. Regardless of what specific vehicle you have, increasing engine RPM under load without a corresponding increase in speed indicates slippage of either the tires or the clutch. With a manual transmission, once your foot is off the clutch pedal, the engine speed and vehicle speed should always increase at exactly a 1:1 ratio for any given gear with no exceptions. The engine shouldn't instantly rev before your speed increases like an automatic or CVT because it's not.
Thank you for this video. This whole time I thought my transmission was slipping on my SI, but it turns out it's the clutch. Car was smoking burning rubber when the clutch finally gave out. It's currently in the shop.
Watching this video absolutely answered my question instantly. I didn’t know how to tell if it was slipping, but yet I was explaining the exact state of the car and the driving characteristics that you were showing in the video
Driving at night, while recording a video and explaining fairly well and shifting gears! damn multitasking is on point here
Copied comment 😂🤣🤡
@@RamzaBeo dude didn't even try, straight copy paste😂
Same thing happened to me... I made a series on my si. Pulled everything apart to find out my clutch disc was worn down like crazy. A piece also broke off of the disc and my flywheel had burn marks on it. I performed the whole job myself, Honda wanted $1400 for the job, I saved myself a grand.
can i ask how or where did you learn how to do that? if so what tools to you really need? basic set? Someway to lift ur car?
@@joseaguirre9389 basically your going to need a transmission lift or a nice jack and nice solid block of wood to sit the tranny on and so that it can hold the transmission in place while you disconnect it from the engine.
A basic mechanics tool box should have all the tools you need for that job.
The clutch kit will come with a clutch alignment tool to help it go in easier.
if you have car ramps you should be fine with the level of clearance since the vehicle would need to be lifted depending on your vehicle some you can make shift your way around this jus as long as you are able to keep the tranny stable as you disconnect it from the engine.
@@joseaguirre9389 torque specs are going to be very important for this job as well getting new bolts is an idea if you strip any by mistake
thanks!!
Gerb that’s a nice honda you own wow!
Nice video man. Figured out why my rpm ran so high
Lmao I bet all the cars next to you thought you wanted to race them in your honda
This is exactly what happens to my car, 2nd gear, pushed the gas pedal all the way in no power, all revs. Thanks for clearing this up
What did you do to fix it ?
I’m having the same issue
@@nocap1947 checked the basics, sparks, ignition coil, solenoid, filter, o2 sensors, filters, after all of that. My solution was to replace the clutch assembly, because its sliding even we tested it for sliding.
@@ZenBeeGamingdid you replaced clutch and its okY now?
Update guys, just replaced my clutch
It’s all good

8th gen civic si is such a gem of a car. My next car
yeah....gem...right..worst gen of civic ever...gem... nahaha
Martin Coufalík forgot the 7th gen
@@martincoufalik9101 8th gen worst? Lmao. I like my 8th gen si way more than any si from 1st to 7th. Only 9th gen is better imo.
@@absoluteclownworld I dont have real experience with that generation, but i have driven and been driven in earlier generations and damn, those cars were fun...but at certain point Honda started saving money or what...i mean 6 gen was last samurai and Jean have right with 7 gen. I believe you and i hope i will take a ride soon to not tell bullshits anymore. Didint thought they realized theyr mistakes. :)
@@martincoufalik9101 idk man i love my si, much more than my 7th gen si.
this is like the only test ive seen on youtube so far that doesn't wear your clutch in the process
My dad's car has exactly this problem. I floor it on any other gear other than 1st and reverse, and the car acts almost like it's in neutral, barely accelerating, but revving up very high.
If your clutch are slipping and worn out badly don't floor it when you want to speed, just tic tac toe the throttle smoothly to gain cluth grip..
tie tac toe?
@@Alan-be9ew basically saying, don't floor it. Just take easy as 1,2,3 calmly giving it pressure so the RPM wont sky rocket.
@@JojoushiPWI Gotcha man! i'm dealing with a slipped clutch right now, and i'm trying to preserve it for a few more weeks until I can get it repaired lol
@@Alan-be9ew yeah man it's OK to drive it calmly but it'll have to get done eventually! Happens with all manual drivers. Good luck!
@@Alan-be9ew i
My Saab engine red lined last night when I was heading home from my boyfriends house, but the car stayed at 50 mph. I had the car in 5th gear too, and it acted like it was in neutral.... I'm buying a new clutch in a couple of weeks and am leaving the dang thing parked because I could potentially blow the engine up driving it in the condition that it is in.. My car is a money pit, but it's fun when it works...
thats why people alwys saying dont commit sin in car.. i have seen a lot of my friend that having sex in their car then their car always having trouble and cost him money even the cars new ,just 2 years out from showroom.. it up to you to believe it or not becuse before this i also not believe on such crappy or horror things.. but when seeing and realise the connection about it, now im believe the existence of karma..
Go Young what the fuck are you even saying? Lol
Let me fix the whip for u lil mama
You just helped me out my genesis just started doing this I’ve thought it was a boost issue but I’m glad it’s just the clutch.
Why are u glad its just the clutch😭
It will cost so much to fix, it's very expensive aswell
Thank you Sir. I searched for this kind of video because yesterday i'm thinking this is my car's problem(a slipping clutch) since the car on my front is slow i need to overtake him but as i floored the gas, my rpm goes high in an instant but i'm not going fast as overtaking speed though it goes fast but so slow, means it needs more time to gain such speed to overtake someone so a problem for me if in case there's an incoming traffic. now i know i need a car clutch replacement.
GOOD VIDEO! My car has started doing this recently so I'm glad I could confi it with this video
I just bought a car, took it down the road through Manchester and it's acceleration was absolutely appalling, thought it was a slipping clutch, but my dad was like no it's just 'cos your used to a 1.6 litre engine and this is only a 1.4 litre engine - I was thinking I've drove a micra with a 1 litre engine in with more acceleration than this thing - the revs were hitting nearly 5,000RPM just to get it up to 40 in 4th! Took it to our local garage who confirmed clutch is slipping - actually local garage was amazed I made it there with the state of the clutch. Prior to that we had a Zafira which had a new clutch fitted 3 years ago and never had any more problems with that clutch (eventually the only problem we had with that was the power steering rack went - I'm trying to wonder whether it would have been cheaper and less risky to just have the power steering rack replaced!)
good video lil late for me lol
thought it was a clogged cat
see if your clutch is worn out by wearing your clutch! seems intuitive!
Looks like im getting a new clutch! Time for an engine swap while im at it i guess lol. I might as well
BlizzardHockey4432 😂😂
Dumb question but does this mean replace clutch kit?
@@thegamblingoon8189 Yeah thats what Id do. While youre in there get the rear main seal done and throwout bearing done as preventative
@@user-ph2df6fo3y ok? Lol
@@thegamblingoon8189 if you don't know cars then don't question it
i love that im searching for an example of this issue click a random video and its the same car as me and is exactly like this fml XD
Just feels like a CVT 😁
I drive an 05 a4 and when it first happened to me it felt like my car went into neutral while accelerating. That’s one way I’d describe the feeling
How often do clutches slip? What is the remedy? Have clutch replaced? Estimate for replacemtn$?
On my mothers 2011 Opel/Vauxhall Corsa D the clutch is slipping as well I think. Giving full throttle the rpms are rising and not much is happening. If i have high rpms though, it has some punch to it. As well when going on the highway (I live in Germany), when going 140+kph, full throttle just results in higher fuel consumption and higher rpm, but when I‘m just a little on the throttle I get faster quicker than full throttle. I dont really know, but I think thats also an indicator for a slipping clutch
My car slips pretty bad. I'm pretty sure it's the clutch and the transmission fluid. It sucks because I'll start driving and then it catches and starts flying away from me lmao.
Thanks for the information! I was wondering why my 2002 Acura RSX Type S was doing that thing with the acceleration. Haven't checked the clutch out, yet. Just purchased it a few months ago with 86k miles, now it has 95k.
Also, I like your Civic Si!
What ended up happening? I am having the same issue on my rsx type s
@@maxmaulhardt979 I had the clutch replaced shortly after & it drove like a beauty! I'm currently at 113k miles & the car's running great, so far.
My RSX just started slipping today
I have a 2012 civic si I owned for 6 years and the clutch on it is brilliant at 95k miles. I test drove a 2014 428i rwd 6 speed and the clutch on it was dead at 52000 miles, really nice car but I could not even feel the clutch catching gears it was scary they let me test drive the car in that condition, check engine light, brakes were blazed, brake light constantly on etc
Don't even bother with those. The only reason I say this is because I come from a family of mechanics who can tune carbs.
Same thing happening on my Honda Civic but worse, when slowing down fast from a high speed it goes into neutral then when I stop, it stalls and the screen reads 'check system'. Honda did a full diagnostic and changed the clutch oil since it was low, they also said the clutch is worn. It still has the same problem so I think I need to change the clutch which I think is very expensive.
with this explanation you probably got a lot of people thinking their clutch is slipping when their car is just slow lol
This was happening to me but the weird part was if you floor it in 3rd it doesn’t slip nearly as hard so I wasn’t sure but now I am
"And you can see the RPMs jump up, but the speed didn't" *speed increases from 65 to 75 mph in literally 1 second*
Km/h
km/h and it was from 50 to 60 but like in 3 seconds lol
Sometimes when i am in second, there are moments when it seems that is slips, the rpm’s rise a bit and the car jiggles but it happened only three times in 6 months, the car is an Audi A4 B8 2.0 TDI (CAGA)
You on the right point to define problem but forgot that this car have CDV in clutch slave cylinder. I pullout mine and no more slip.
What do you Mean CDV man, could you help me out, because im having a similar problem and just recently replaced my flywheel pressure plate and the clutch disc
THANK YOU VERY MUCH MY GOOD MAN my cars been doing this for 2 weeks and my clutch went out 😂😂😂hood to know why now
lol started noticing the same thing on my g35, didnt know what it was. thanks for the input, guess ill have to replace my clutch soon.
+n3ro209 did u replace it yet?? just creeping on your comment lol
+J.Santos actually i just took it in to the shop yesterday, just waiting on it now
+n3ro209 .. Careful must mechanics will always tell u something is wrong. Just So u pay them to fix something
+J.Santos oh i know, the guy i went with has a reputable shop which specializes in transmissions, so i just went in and said i needed the clutch replaced, they went ahead and resurfaced my flywheel, refilled my tranny oil too. I went to pick it up the next day. All seems good (;
+n3ro209 tranny oil? manuals don't have transmission oil lol. Only hydraulic planetary automatics (basicly every auto)have transmission oil! XD Or do you mean differential oil?
Bro thank you. This saved me hundreds
nice car man. My honda si 08 is doing the same thing rn at about the same miles
When I change my clutch do I need to change the fly wheels as well? This is for g35
Perfect. Thanks for the simple explanation.
Great video! Can’t believe my fx400 is slipping...guess there’s a positive there somewhere #hppower lol 🤦🏻♂️
Really good video thanks for show and tell!
my clutch is slipping when getting a new clutch do i change the slave cylinder
Peter Chavez yes
I was like "this dude sounds like he's from Woodbridge" and then I saw the Scarlett/St. Clair bridge hahaha
Mine slips at higher rpms, good thing I have a new one sitting around
Hi guys,
I have a 2009 1.25 82hp fiesta, 85k kms. When i let go the throttle pedal and press the clutch it does a rev hang, but it also goes up like 300rpm.
To explain better : at 3k rpm i let go the throttle, then i press the clutch pedal fully in and it takes +300 rpm so it goes up to 3300rpm or so. Even before shifting gear it does that, do you think the clutch disks are worn out ?
Thanks !
My 2007 Toyota Tacoma doin the same thing. I'm glad it's not the transmission I just know too go easier on the clutch
Good video thanks for not yelling like u do in most videos 😊
Well & simply explained
A real easy way to tell if you have a slipping clutch is to engage the car into third gear and slowly release the clutch without any throttle. If the car takes of then indeed you have a slipping clutch.
is this while the car is running or no
Toronto eh? Scarlet and Dundas lol
+Wilson Pabon I thought it was that area, but didn't believe it till I read your comment.
Yeah that underpass is key lol many ttucks have gotten stuck there
What if you put your foot down to floor, but the car picks up speed (accelerates) very slowly. I.e. rev needle barely moves..? Or is that normal? Turbo 1.6 cooper s?
Definitely need to have your clutch looked at by a mechanic! This happened to me and the clutch m slipped and now I need to have it replaced
It’s happening to my IS300 ): But thanks for letting me know
Good video bro. Well needed
I have same issue on my ford ecosport titanium diesel. Is this a serious issue for clutch to be replace soon or it is safe to drive extra km. One more thing, there is no smell of clutch burn.
Thank you! This helps alot
Hey I’ve got a 2007 VW gti stage 2 tuned, I have no scanner. Not always but usually when I drive I have misfires and lose power in 1-3(long time to accelerate) I don’t hear any turbo or see it build up much on the boost gage might hit 5psi, it usually will have a rough idle and when I start the car I have the engine light on which will flash for a couple seconds then stay on and gas cap light comes on for 5mins.
I was told piston rings but when I checked compression it was fine, I was also told diverter valve
I’ve put new spark plugs and coil packs in.
What do you think I should try?
I play all your videos at 1.25 speed. :)
Mateo Ahumada helps a lot
Mateo Ahumada he talks too slooooo
So serious question how long will it last like that?
Great explanation.Thanks
Thank you for making this tutorial while you on your way to pickup Jesse Pinkman
Lmao
I drove my car 30kms to the garage today,it has 6 gears, I made sure I didn't go past the 5th gear and 70kph. The tachometer was on 2,000 revs however, occasionally I could see the tachometer moving up around 300 revs without the speed increasing. My heart was in my mouth the whole way. It even stalled on a hill when I was in 1st gear. Anyway, car is in the garage for a clutch replacement and will be ready by tomorrow, hope all is well and I hope that the actuator isn't also a problem.
Did your car get ok after replacing clutch?
@@danbonjovirmaranon4153 Hi, yes it is working perfectly.Just make sure your car has a re-learn after the change Since the replacement on September 22nd I have had no problems, it is now October 9th. I have driven from France to the UK and have driven over 2,000 kilometres since the change. I have even got the VTEC kicking in a couple of times. The way I drive now is that I keep it in manual, that way I control the gear changes going up. You can control the gear changes going down however, the gears will change down automatically when slowing down.Don't worry if you hear a little clunk of the clutch changing into 2nd or 1st gear, it is not a problem. And be careful at roundabouts, make sure if you are slowing down gauge if you can pull of quickly in 2nd, or what I do is make sure the car drops to 1st for a quicker take off, it all depends, I sometimes take off at 8mph in 2nd and I press down a little further on the accelerator. You don't want to go past the roundabout in 2nd gear at 5 miles per hour. Also when I come to a standstill or a red light I put it in 'N' neutral in order to not wear the clutch. I went from hating this car to loving it. Some people say that Automatic Manual Transmission cars are rubbish. In my opinion they are not, you just have to know how to drive them.
Thank you so much. Same issue. So i need to change my clutch then
@@danbonjovirmaranon4153You are welcome, It's an expensive job, but it has to be done. Someone said I should sell it!lol! Glad I didn't. I even drove from near Oxford to Southampton yesterday, no issues, I drove to Swindon, Northampton, all over the place. Now I have complete confidence.
@@danbonjovirmaranon4153 Hi Dan, have you replaced the clutch yet? I drove from UK to France the other day, zero problems, was in cruise mode most of the time. I'll be going back in a couple of weeks.
I kinda have the same problem but it slips from 5k rpm and up
Mine goes up like 1000rmp quickly. Then goes down a little and keeps going normaly. When i do it with higher rpm everything is fine. Is it because diesel turbo cars have really high torque in low rmp?
And is this bad for my car?
im in a mustang GT im not about to lug the engine man..
My car does this in 1st gear, does it also mean it's a slipping clutch?
thank for the video!! another how much longer will the clutch last though?
mine lasted about 4 days
This happens with me too in diesel turbo car. When I'm in 4 gear and when i wanted to accelerate high the rpm suddenly jumps to high then i have to take my foot off until it comes back to 2000 then the car accelerates if i accelerate.
yes sir good explanation.
Thank you great video!!
very helpful, thank you
Thanks for the video!
So if in my gt86 when I press the gas pedal the rpm goes up, then down then starts going back up, it's most likely the clutch, ye?
So what if I just got a new clutch and it started doing that? Could it just be set wrong?
Good example mate!
I m getting the same problem in my car skoda fabia and i changed my clutch kit but the problem remain same😦 so any suggestions?
The only fucking video that explains my problem! Finally!! Thank you! I need a new clutch! Fuck!
I'm pretty sure my clutch hasn't been replaced on 07 si coupe, and it grabs hard and doesn't do what you showed in the video. Also my car has 130k + miles on it. Must have been driven by some people that know how to drive.
I have a 99 M3 with 139k miles and still on the original clutch. Keep in mind it's an M3 so it has been driven hard on some occasions.
Good job bro
Good vid. This has also started happening in my Astra. Garage is quoting silly money so just wondering how much I can push my luck. My driving is very limited at the moment just a to b. Anyone have this problem and carry on driving for a few months?
I know it years later but I drive on a stock clutch from mid 2000s and as long as i dont floor it, it usually works as intended.
My new clutch only has only 5k miles on it and the clutch is now slipping, and help????
But if u goin slow in a higher gear its harder to gain speed
this is exactly my problem especially when Im at 3rd or 4th gear when I floor the gas. but mine comes with a burning rubber smell, is that related? thanks
I have never experienced it personally but I was told a slipping/burning clutch does smell similar to burning rubber.
So like if it’s slipping, how long do I have left on my clutch? 😅😅
I have the same thing. Whennshoukd inchnage the clutch?
my $200 3kgt is doing the same thing. squeelin, and poppin out of gear, and not really movin when i floor it... makin me look like a noob.
I am working with my dad, and one co worker got me drunk he said it was water ok that was a funny joke, and u cannot be atleast a little drunk in my country and drive, but the point is that I needed to give car to my dad to drive back home, and guess what he started driving from third gear and he needed like 5s to realise that, and now my clutch is slipping on third gear
Great job my do same I know what the foult is thanks
Very helpful thank you
No problem!
Can we change the clutch like manual transmission?
Where is this ?
Thanks so much bro.
Yeah I need a new clutch
gotcha, thanks.
