In this video I am going to show you how the clutch on your car works and operates but not only that I'll also show you how you can diagnose issues with your clutch, like a slipping clutch, soft clutch peddle, issues with the master and slave cylinders and noise issues when you depress the clutch peddle.

Higher than normal rpm readings per gear and loud noises on acceleration and delayed acceleration are big time signs of a bad clutch. Excellent video.

Thank you, I like to watch several videos of the same subject to get a variety of views, and more examples and stories for clarification. You are the first video to even mention the pilot bearing, and the first to use the term "throw out" bearing, which is what my dad always called it! Also, +1 for crush pedal!

Thanks man. I've been working on cars all my life and had my first clutch car in the 80s but sold it soon after. I never bought another clutch car again, even though it didn't give me problems. I got another clutch car now and it appears that the throw out bearing is going out so you finally taught me the science behind how a clutch works and how to troubleshoot it. Thanks again and keep up your great work of instructing us about cars.

Very educational, thank you SO much. Just had a master cylinder & clutch assembly replaced, but the culprit, $1000 later, was the $31 throw out fork, lol! Gotta take it back in because when I release the clutch pedal, about halfway back up it sticks, then suddenly "pops" the rest of the way up. It's actually an audible "thump" sound too as it pops back up. I wish this video would have given me a clue as to why it's doing that. I just can't figure it out. Just spent 2 weeks without my car (2002 Subaru Forester), living in the country and a full time single mom, whew! I'm loathe to take her back in, but I don't want that thousand bucks to multiply! If every driver knew the basic mechanics of how their cars work, I don't think we'd be in the shop quite so much, lol! Thanks for including your bloopers, I was laughing with you! Comic relief is so very necessary when working on cars, gosh how my dad would swear and throw tools, when he'd make me "help" (really just watch) as he worked on cars out in our driveway. He really needed a son, lol! I'm grateful, I can install brakes, change a valve cover gasket, change tires, change oil and much more cause of dad making me "help" as a tween and teen age girl!

This is a great descriptive video! I posted a clutch problem video on my ZO6 2 days ago. I got a call from Chevy today and they said it's the throwout bearing. But after watching your video it could be the pilot bearing as well. I sent the message to them. If you don't mind I'm going to post it in my description on the video. Thanks for the description of the clutch!

Awesome video, super thorough, awesome flow of explanation and great troubleshooting tips. Thank you for also including information about how the computer is tied into the systems as well. I learned a lot from this video. What was especially surprising to me is that when you kill the car in a manual, I always thought it was the engine just not having enough power to turn the wheels which made the engine die, but instead its' the computer sensing an overload and shutting down, so interesting. Anyway, good vid, thank you.

HeyRNW, I found the neatest Hispanic mechanic when I'm lost on my car. Jose has a small 3 bay shop and he's always working with his 2 other guys. He's so nice and informative. Plus he's really open and inviting! I go in his shop and hear his guys listening to the Mexican AM station and working and doing excellent work here in Lebanon Oregon. they did an excellent job on my 2001 water pump and etc timing belt change out. I wanted to try it, but i didn't have certain tools to really do a perfect job.

You are the best. I have looked at different videos where they explain as though they are deliberately intending to confuse! Clearly there is no continous shaft from the crankshaft and the input shaft. This is extremely hard to imagine when one considers that stuff must be continously connected from the engine to the wheels

I have a question. I have a 05 mustang gt put in a new clutch kit with new slave/throwout bearing. From the beginning the clutch engagement wasnt linear. Ive bled the system many times and sometimes pumping the ckutch helps the engagement feel. So then i put a new ckutch master cylinder since the one i had was used but the pedal feel is still the same. Theres days that the clutch pedal feels great but usually after a few minutes of driving it starts to feel like the clutch pedal is not linear any ideas??

I had a keychain rattle noise when the clutch pedal was NOT pushed in. Once you push the pedal in all noise stopped. Also, the car was kinda shaking when I pulled away from a stop. It turned out the flywheel was warped and burnt on 1 side. Resurfaced it and all issues are gone.

Hi, I am looking at purchasing an Audi A1 1.4TFSi and recently took it for a test drive the other day. Nice little car but what I did notice was that when the clutch pedal was nearly fully depressed (around 4/5ths of the way depressed) it started to vibrate a little (no noise heard from within the cabin just some minor vibration through the pedal). Then when the pedal was fully depressed the vibration went away and then as it was released (now in gear) around the same point (on the return) it started vibrating again. Is this a problem? Could it be the pilot bearing like you mentioned in the video even though there are no noises coming from the engine bay?

Pl;ease advise. Cant put gear into gear. However cannot change gear at all. Noises can be heard from the engine when stationary but cannot hear anything on the move. The last thing that happend is I could not release the gears at all. Jad to remove the gearbox then pull out of gear. Is this a sign of bad bearings or personally feeling the Fingers have warped or become to fatigued and no longer respond to pressure from the pedal.....
