The best analysis of a worn clutch. Thank you.

My whole car shakes violently if I release clutch in first gear especially if the car is in inclined position

[@riyan4272]

thank you so much for this vid. i thought my clutch was bad but your advice on going to the mechanic for a check was true. i went to the mechanic and he told me that i had bad spark plugs. he fixed the plugs and all my problems went away. my car symptoms were - engine revs but car does not accelerate - sudden bursts of acceleration and then nothing - when sitting in the car engine vibrates the car - when i drop into gear RPM drops a lot and very hard to increase RPM but this is what i can remember from memory but there were more problems not just these. my advice would be to go to mechanic before ordering parts or doing anything. coz i was about to order a clutch and replace my old perfectly good one.

Hello wonder if you can help me I have a 2018 Ford Fiesta diesel six speed manual after an hour of driving it every day around town. The car starts to shudder when releasing the clutch in first and reverse gears. Any ideas what this problem can be thanks

Hi I have a 2003 Audi 2.7 I believe the gears will shift but the clutch it's like it's not doing but the gears won't shift

Any idea about this issue on my 2004 Impreza wagon manual, 156,000 miles? Clutch replaced 20,000 miles ago. Center Differential replaced 200 miles ago. Noise started after center diff replacement, about 100 miles later. Does not make noise in turns (except when coasting). A mild clicking/tapping noise (sounds soft like playing card in bike spoke) is present when coasting in any gear, front main transaxle area (transmission). It varies in frequency and speed, according to the output shaft RPMs, and sometimes it's quieter or not there at all. It's probably a small piece of flat wire from a piece of seal that got away during clutch or center differential replacement. Doesn't seem to affect operations though. Does it about 80% of the time, but is not noticeable 50% of that time. It's quiet enough where talking, dirt roads, road noise, or any stereo masks it. Any ideas, other than debris in case? Thanks!

If my clutch is worn out, does it mean that my master cylinder or slave cylinder is also out? My case is that the clutch pedal is just sticking on the floor and a leak coming from master cylinder came out down to the ground surface

My polo vivo 1.6 manual is having a problem if I press clutch while driving changing gears revs is going up .why .what can I do to fix it

[@neilford4821]

How long does it take change a clutch plate spring.

1992 chevy S10 4.3ltr 5 speed manual transmission... goes through all gears, but you physically have to move the shifter to all gears..it doesnt just go to 3rd from 2nd like normal while driving!! Clutch lets out really high on the pedal!! Shifter is pretty stiff.. you move it to the right or left in neutral and that is where it stays... probable causes???

[@dominozonda]

Maybe you should lubricate the shifter first and then see if you still have the problem Did you find out what was the issue

[@mattallengroupatREAL]

A bit of changing!

[@dnacannotchange]

Just ask me for your clutch questions post a reply under this....🎉

[@doraexplora9046]

"Your clutch is worn and needs a LITTLE BIT OF REPLACING!" lmao DID you come up with that line all by yours elf?

[@user-lb6ny4me7x]

All the gears will move but the car just won't move it and it's like the break is like the clutch needs to be

[@marcusreddy6296]

I have a Toyota etios 2013,I have not changed my clutch in 10 years ,when changing gears my car looses power and the rev counter does nt increase it dies off.

[@dnacannotchange]

That's the characteristic of a gas motor it loses s more power when you shift to a higher gear...

[@alexvids9232]

I dont accelerate hardly on any gear.
