If you drive a manual transmission, you’ll likely notice a failing clutch by the feel of the clutch pedal.

You may find it laborious to try and get your car from one gear to the next, or you might find that the car isn’t wanting to stay in any gear. If it’s hard for you to change gears in your manual transmission, then that’s often a sign of a clutch that is malfunctioning. If you press on the gas pedal, the RPMs will increase, but the speed of the car won’t. Yet even though your car isn’t accelerating, the engine will still be revving high. When this happens, you’ll notice that you can’t accelerate, or you can’t accelerate very well. It results when the clutch disengages at times when it shouldn’t.

When the clutch is completely worn through, it will result in an acrid, burning smell that isn’t very pleasant. There are a few different issues that can lead to foul smells, including a clutch that is fully worn down. They can signal a lot of different things, including a problem with the clutch.īad smells are not a good sign from a car. Noises are never a good sign from your car, and should always be addressed.
