1. Engine RPM increases without a corresponding increase in speed: This is the most common sign of a slipping clutch. When the clutch is slipping, the engine is still spinning, but it's not transferring that power to the wheels. This can cause the engine to rev higher than it should when the car is accelerating.
2. Loss of power: If the clutch is slipping badly, you may also notice a loss of power when the car is accelerating. This is because the engine isn't able to transfer all of its power to the wheels, so the car doesn't move as quickly as it should.
3. Burning smell: If the clutch is slipping, you may also smell a burning smell coming from the car. This is because the clutch is made of friction material, and when it's slipping, it can generate a lot of heat.
4. Difficulty shifting gears: If the clutch is slipping, you may also have difficulty shifting gears. This is because the clutch helps to synchronize the speed of the engine and the transmission, and when it's slipping, it can make it difficult for the gears to engage properly.
5. Stalling: If the clutch is slipping badly, the car may also stall when it's coming to a stop. This is because the clutch isn't able to hold the engine against the transmission, so the engine shuts off.
6. Check engine light: If the clutch is slipping, it may also trigger the check engine light. This is because the slipping clutch can cause damage to the engine, and the check engine light is a warning that there is something wrong with the car.
