When You Might Need a Clutch Replacement

Signs your clutch is wearing out include:

  • Slipping: Engine revs rise without matching acceleration.
  • Difficulty shifting: Especially into first or reverse.
  • Burning smell: Often from clutch material overheating.
  • Clutch pedal changes: Spongy, stiff, or vibrating pedal feel.
  • Chattering or juddering when engaging.
