Clutch slipping: signs and fixes

If you're noticing engine revs rising but the car not speeding up, your car is telling you something. Here's what usually causes it, what you can safely check, and when to call a mechanic.

Likely causes

  • Worn clutch disc
  • Oil on the clutch from a leaking seal
  • Hydraulic clutch not fully releasing
  • Weak pressure plate

“Book soon; slipping only gets worse, especially on hills.”

What you can check

  • Try a high-gear pull at low speed: if revs flare, it's slipping
