It is important to mention that some symptoms mentioned might have absolutely nothing to do with the drive train, but actually related to engine performance being to lean/rich. Sometimes it is just down to the fact that some newer drivers dont apply enough RPM when moving off causing the engine to labour.

Please add samples of the sounds.

I think mine is completely gone cause the car doesnt stall in 1st or 5th.

I have a 2001 Audi TT Quattro 1.8 turbo. The pressure on my clutch is fine I can push it all the way to the floor comes all the way back up good pressure. When I push the clutch all the way down and put it in 1st gear it doesn't engage at all now my engine just revs.The 6 speed stick shift shifts every gear fine except that needed high revs or I'll lose speed while driving.I bought it and drove it home last week after driving it for an hour home I could smell a burning smell from the front driver side tire area.I knew it would need something with the clutch done to it when I bought it.So getting it to move from being parked and putting in it in 1st gear to get it going it has to be between 3000 and 3500 RPM in 1st gear just to get it moving and it's the same RPMs with each gear while I'm driving on the road or I will lose speed.The next day it got worse with the high revs to get it moving again but now higher motor revs to get it out my driveway then it had to go to between 4000-4500 RPMs in 1st gear from parked to get it going now. But the 3rd day it doesn't move at all now when I press the clutch down as I said there's a lot of clutch pedal there nice pressure feeling.The engine RPMs is going too high now and doesn't move at all I don't want the engine to scream cause it's obviously not going to move and now I can't drive it.In your opinion do you think it's the clutch? Should I just get a full Clutch kit? or you think it's a flywheel problem? Please respond this is driving me insane. Thank you very much.

As a paranoid individual on anything that is expensive or hard to get to this helped me determine that my clutch is in fact ok

Thank You, for the informational signs of my clutch going out. Now I've got a semi-challenging project.

LOL my car is showing me 3 of the 5. I don't notice slipping, but I do notice the vibration when releasing it, and sometimes it will jerk, kind of like it wants to stall, when I'm starting to move. Thanks for the video.

Thank you! Very helpful! We could use some noises though of what the clutch sounds like when worn!

another sign is if your wife / girlfriend drives it, then you need a new clutch!

very informative! good job

Very helpful. My 2008 ford focus is doing that

I read somewhere that one of the signs is also when driving uphill that a burning smell coming out of the cabin could indicate a slipping clutch. This is strange to me because I don't notice any difference in the drivability or power of the car. Have you heard this?

good video. my clutch is making a squealing noise just before it engages. According to the video there may be a problem with the throwout bearing

I just had my clutch plate go out. It was a intermittent problem. Turn out to be the center springs in the plate. Some times it drove well. Other times I couldn't get in gear. One spring was gone and three more about ready to go.

Thank you this narrowed everything down

bravo ma! si pe engleza esti bun. Multumim pentru toate video-urile pe care le faci

...my nissan vannet ..i have reallywodered why it is shaking when i slowly engauge the clutch..man you have helped me big time loke you from kenya thanks for you educative..show..i know now i need a clutch plate .

good to know my clutch is good, once it goes out I'm going aftermarket though

I press my clutch and the rpm goes down, car shakes a bit and sometimes stalls when i press the clutch. Thoughts?

I took my car to get an oil change and the garage said I needed a new clutch but I never have noticed any problems yet...

What about when a car is very slow when moving and engine revs without going anywhere while in gear? I set off from lights and when i release the clutch the engine revs high before its normal again. Also plz diagnose a flywheel fault thanks. my clutch is kaput i guess, i have the sl;ave cylinder and clutch plate and frame already to replace.

Is it normal that the vibration is not always appears? I just decided to go to nissan service to change the clutch set as i had vibration in 1st gear when i start. But since then the problem disappeared. Only 85k km in my nissan pulsar 1.5 dci. I bought it 1 year ago so I dont know how it was used before unfortunately.

How come every time I put in the clutch all the way, it doesn’t want to go into first? If I force it in, it either grinds, or goes in, but it makes a loud noise. But every time I go from neutral to reverse, it only grinds, it doesn’t go into any gear without grinding. That’s why I keep turning it on in gear, which isn’t good.

Nyc n soft clear talk

I can't hear you because of the background noise. Either get rid of it or turn it down quite a bit.

My car doesent stall in any gear when I let go of the clutch and also won’t move Just revs up and slowlyyyyy starts moving Rpms go flying up

Hi, I test drove a 2018 mustang ecoboost and it shifted so easily. Clutch slid into gears very easy. I then tested a gt and it took alot more to put it into first gear. Also when shifting it Jerked alot. Not sure ifbit was due to being rusty at manual but these were test driven 1hr apart. I'm in the process of buying the gt

Thanks for oil leak info

Oil on clutch plate may also need a oil seal replacment

Golf 6 tsi. The car vibrates when taking off, but it drive fine and pull fine. I replace the dogbone mounting but still experiencing that problem

My clutch pedal is right down on the floor of my Toyota audio 1400 is this a sign of clutch wearing out .

Please advice: When driving in 4th. and 5th. gear between 2000-2500 rpm there is a rattling noise under the car. everything is check and doube check only suspect is the clutch set becouse the sound started after replacement. is a Honda Jazz1.4 2004. .

Hi, I got some problem, when I drive hard I mean on the up hil the rpm it’s going up, and I need to remove the gas and put again, that can be the clutch problem? Thanks

A have a 2001 renault Laguna with 39 miles. The pedal is really high and the engine is stalling with noting

You can stop the oil leak then burn the excess oil off by purposely slipping the clutch a bit it will come roght after a while.

Good morning my friend please I have a question when I engage my gear 5 I always hear a noise different from the rest gear what do you think I do

My mechanic friend said my clutch is done. But I don’t know if it’s necessary to replace the whole thing, adjust something, or replace just a part. Not sure it’s worth to put over $1k into this heap of junk. Lasted me a good long while though. But this is why it’s important to have backup plans for car emergencies! Lol. Heed the warning, people

Hello! I own Volvo s60 d5 2006, and when engine is cold I hear rattling noise behind front left wheel. When I press clutch pedal, the sound is gone, or when it starts to rise temperature. Sometimes it makes noise, sometimes it don't. Shifting is normal, can't feel vibration or clutch pedal been hit while its pressed. Cheers!

Subbed because of this video

Hi - thanks that's great info ! Question : I have a pretty old berlingo and the clutch makes a loud clicking sound often when I press the pedal... the garage just said I have to replace the whole transmission... any thoughts?

Hi what if you can hear a noise like slight whine then goes away when you press the clutch in when stationary?

The clutch on my 07 Mustang GT seems to perform okay, but the amount of force to press down the clutch pedal is...very unusual. The clutch is much softer in other cars of this model. Also, my friend agrees the clutch pedal is curiously resistant - this is important because he owned a 94' Dodge Viper, a car infamous for having pretty much the hardest clutch known to vehicles outsides of tanks, so it's notable he found it extreme. Let me wheel it back a bit, I'm not trying to give the idea that I have to push the clutch with both feet with my back against the seat and my butt in the air - it's not THAT bad. It doesn't effect my ability to drive the car. I'm used to it too. It does get a little annoying in stop and go traffic, but my concern is not the force it takes but the possibility it may be so hard to depress because the clutch is bad. I don't want to be puttering around with a bad clutching doing who knows what to my poor transmission. Thing is, I bought the vehicle used and it already had some light performance modifications. Nothing that would *require* a stronger-than-stock-clutch but I guess it is possible the previous owner put a really beefy one on. I guess there's no real way to easily tell if it's an aftermarket clutch or not, huh? Any thoughts on whether it sounds like a worn clutch or a beefy aftermarket clutch, and if there are ways to tell?

thank you man you saved my life

if their is wear on clutch disk, does it mean that the disk is now smooth, without any friction?

What if my gears are sticking? I can't change gears, I can press the clutch down with no problem but when driving it;s like it is almost not going to go, now I parked it, the gears won't even work.

Most clutches are now self-adjusting. So it will work one day & not the text.

Salut, am ambreiajul foarte tare, merita sa verific sistemul hidraulic sa nu aibe aer? sau sigur trebuie sa schimb neaparat ambreiajul?

U r so calm

Misto video-ul!

Nice video! Keep it up!!!

My new car tends to vibrate when pick up from the car is stationary. Is it the symptoms of clutch sliping?

yo bro.. i have golf mk4 1999 i will never buy new cars anymore just cars before 2000 But now my golf sometimes 1. shifts gears when i start it 2. it is not grabbing any gear 3. if i turn it off it shifts like new car 4. IF i get it in gear when it is off then turn it on , the car is driving slowly without me changing gears i dont know how to explain it is sooo weird i bled the liquid from the system and put inside new fluid... But when i checked the canister it was full the master and slave cylinders i checked also everything i know i did. So plz can you think of anything other that i should do ???? ( it is so important for me to have a car Tuesday's i drive myself to hospital 🙏🙏🙏 respect bro )

my truck vibrates when I turn drive off in morning only.. after thru out the day no more vibration. clutch worn out?

My clutch pedal has no foot pressure and comes back freely. I do not know what is wrong with it. I don’t know if it’s something with the hydraulics or what the deal is

Sorry I said my Toyota was an audio no it’s an Auris . With a clutch that goes to the floor . Why is this ?

My word I have the same problem in the mornings I can't even put my car in gear then it stalls or when am driving from gear 1 to gear 4 it jerks ( when I accelerator)

Thanks for your videos,and I have a problem to solve out In my Hilux cab,that is, when I start the engine it shudders abnormally.and also switched off. Is it a pressure plate problem

I get a screeching sound when pulling away in 1st gear sometimes the car shakes a little. This is worse on a hill start and in cold weather, the car drives normally in all other gears and the biting point is still in the middle of the pedals travel. I have been told it might be the one way bearing in the clutch. What do you think the problem could be?

hi, my manual car jerks a lot when launching in 1st gear but when lauched in 2nd it goes smoothly any suggestion

Salut. Dețin un Ford focus MK2 benzina 2006 și manifesta primele 3 simptome explicate de tine. Vreau sa te întreb dacă este posibil că și la volata sa am probleme și cam ce simptome da volanta când începe să cedeze? Ms mult și foarte tare ce faci.😉

I have a nissan 2005 ser spec V 2.8 my only problem is that my clutch pedal it stays low , sometimes i have to put my foot under the clutch to put it back to normal, but my car doesnt have any of those problems u were mentioning, it just stays low when driving for a long period of time, so would like to know could it be the pressure plate that it needs to be changed or could it be perhaps the clutch pedal that needs to be adjusted. Thanks

Please help my clutch juddders and feels very sharp when pulling away on a cold start . When the vehicle is warm it fine. My car is a Toyota Avensis 2.2 diesel year 2010 and I believe is has a dual mass fly wheel. Thanks mo

Does it affects the power of the car especially in climbing hill?

Bmw are de obicei un ambreiaj ce merge mai greu? Am cumparat un 320 lci si ambreiajul se apasa greu si parca vrea sa-ti impinga inapoi piciorul. Cu aceeasi chestie se confrunta si un prieten la Peugeout 407. Asa e de fabrica sau e uzat ambreiajul ?

Okay , I have a 1993 Toyota pickup 5 speed 4 wheel drive v6 . I started to notice it was getting hard to put in gear and reverse it would grind to go into than the other day I was driving to work and I couldn't put it in gear without shutting it off and starting it again I noticed that the clutch cylinder fluid was black what does that mean?

mine has a burnt smell inside the car when driving after like 10 mins, and also when I'm in 3rd of 4th gear and try to accelerate fast, as soon as it hits like 40mph the gear kinda slips? and it's like in neutral? so the rpm is very high (since I'm pressing the gas) but I'm no longer actually accelerating... and then when I apply brake and come down to like 20mph it goes back to normal. any help is appreciated thanks.

Hi, I know this video is older but I hope I can get a reply. So I had a question, the problem I’m having is when I’m taking off from first gear, in the Focus RS, the Engine/ Car shakes a bit. And also I’m getting burnt smell after some driving, but no smoke, just the smell. I understood your explanation, it’s the Pressure Plates, Idk if you can elaborate cause I know it’s NOT the Motor amounts. More importantly can I still drive the car while I save money for a new Clutches. I would greatly appreciate an Answer!!!

Idk if is the clutch but my car just broke and like the gears doesnt move if i press the clutch. it just move when the car is off not even pressing the clutch. but if i start the car in 1st gear with my foot in the clutch the car start moving. You guys have any idea why is like that?

My clutch acts weird after like 20 ish minutes of driving it just keeps getting harder and harder to get in gear eventually it won’t be able to go in 1st 2nd 3rd haven’t tried 4th or 5th reverse works sometimes the clutch is also noisy when it gets like that I should replace the clutch throw out pilot pressure plate and flywheel all right ?

Does anyone know why my clutch feels gritty when I press it and release between switching gears. Most commonly happens from 1,2,3 gears.

Hey I have a question my clutch pedal goes stiff like really stiff and sometimes it gets stuck like I can't press it down at all or it won't come up randomly, what could the cues be

What does it mean when my car shifts out of 1st and kind of jolts? Is it the clutch pack? Or possibly something else?

Hi I have Jeep wrangler TJ when I drive fast I hear gear noise from 2nd to the fifth gear little in the end of changing & clutch smell in the sand is the sign the clutch to be changed...& clutch padle is high.

I have a problem happens after 5 10 k in miles? From stand still i select 1st when releasing the clutch i hear a drill type of sound and the van wont move but when you press the clutch pedal in and go to move off again its fine, any idea on what this can be?

hello, nice video. i would like to ask some tips.. my car is having a hard and difficulty during climbing uphill, even in the lower gear.. imean, almost no power at all. Is it a clutch problem? Note: i just recently replaced the fuel filter.

Thanks really useful 😉

Do any one know pls let me know I was driving my car and in the third gear I press the clutch down and it went completely down didn’t come back then I tried to bring it up with my hands when it was again up then it hanged and doesn’t go donwn.hope y’all understand me.?

I don’t get stalks, bought another mk4 with a clutch slipping.. is soft to press, but will go high in the revs and no drive in 3rd gear.. going to change, is it recommend to change the gearbox also? (I have a spare gearbox)

My truck did the exact opposite and just gave out on me on the highway. When I took it out it was paper thin and I was grinding rivets down😂. The clutch got stiffer and it was almost impossible to stall.

when my car is in nuetral, it sounds like something scraping?

Thanks!!!

Going up a hill in 3rd n 4th and slipps a sign?

My Chevy aveo 2004 was running before the master cylinder was replaced now it don’t move. In any gear, I’ve. Been stress becuz the car is my only way of working.

My double cab bakkie can't engage in gears what is the problem

I have difficulty getting into 1st gear! Land Rover Freelander 1999 2.0

What if a car comes with self adjusting clutch?

hi my gear is vibrating while slowly engaged after changing the clutch kit including bearing, the gear shift is getting harder like stuck to engage into 1st gear, is kind of resistant, have to shift to other gear and try engage again, sometime it doesn't work have to engage forcefully. what is going on here?

What about shipping just in reverse

Um there's no audio?

Why would you you put music on the backround!!

Okay well I just installed the clutch disk now I have a clutch again but when I push it in and try to shift it wouldn't in gage with out grinding can anybody tell me what to do or what the problem is it would be appreciate thanks

How to tell if it is time to change your timing belt+tensioner? Because I bought an auction car without service history and I don't know when it was last changed. Thanks
