What happens when the clutch slips?
This is the major complaint of a faulty clutch. When a clutch slips the clutch disc no longer revolves at the same speed as the flywheel and pressure plate and as a result cannot turn the input shaft of the transmission as fast as the engine. The problem is most often associated with a worn out or burned clutch disc. The disc has a fibrous material bonded to it’s surface, this material is similar to the lining on brakes. As this material wears down or begins to burn, it no longer as the ability to “bite” and hold firm between the flywheel and pressure plate. When that happens the clutch will slip which is where the term, “Clutch Slipping” originated.
