How To Tell If Your Car Has A Slipping Clutch-Easy Test

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!

driving at night in the middle of a city, accelerating, talking and explaining, recording a video... talk about multitasking

[mentalbliss]

Great, realistic video that we can identify with rather than someone trying to explain it. Great job!!!

[howdoweknow]

You sound like Badger from breaking bad man😂😂

My '99 Civic has 241, 000 miles on the original clutch. I'm kind of amazed its still going.

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!!

[PTSOPHOTO]

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

[EricLee]

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.

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

[shahzeboy]

Driving at night, while recording a video and explaining fairly well and shifting gears! damn multitasking is on point here

[TeamSSG]

Nice video man. Figured out why my rpm ran so high

[TheGerbsteve]

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.

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.

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

[cid]

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.

Lmao I bet all the cars next to you thought you wanted to race them in your honda

[Fiat_Multipla]

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.

8th gen civic si is such a gem of a car. My next car

[jessicaskelton]

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...
