HEY GUYS,

your welcome for my numerous comments the past week lol.


out of curiosity, how do u know when ur clutch is worn or going bad

please dont say "when your car wont move or get into gear"

 

a quick test is to go out driving... put it about 3 gears up from where you would normally drive at that speed you're currently going (..say going 35 in third so put it in 6th..) and floor it... if your rev tac skips around, you should take it in and get it looked at visually

 

what do you mean by rev tac skips around?

 

Does that actually work? I thought that the clutch would be disengaged so it wouldnt matter?

I would just try shifting fast at high rpms, and if it slips or grinds, i would guess you need a new clutch

 

Your scaring me... My car grinds second gear all the time in the high rmps

... and its an 06 with only 1000 miles

 

Take it to the dealer, grinds in the trannys are known problems. itll only get worse.

 

I think what he means is go about 35mph and have it in 6th gear. The car will bog down because of the excess load. If the clutch was indeed slipping, you'll see the tach jump in rpms. Seems like a good test.

 

When you are sitting still somewhere..put the car in first...dump the clutch then just slamm it in to second gear.. and if the car revs without moving then grabs..Your clutch is slipping and is going to go soon.!!

Little harsh but that works in my book.!!

 

.......... isn't that the formula to burn up your clutch? Highly NOT recommended.

 

exactly what I meant...thnx
