Can someone explain to a 10th grade dropout how to diagnose a bad clutch?


How do you know when a clutch is bad? I'm still semi-new to driving stick ( 9 months )

-Lots of noise when pressing in the clutch pedal means bad or failing throw out bearing
-pushing the clutch in, but it wont disconnect would be:
--stuck throw out bearing
--failing master/slave
--clutch pedal needs adjustment
-slipping clutch
--grabs fine in 1st, 2nd, but when accelerating in 3rd, 4th, 5ht, etc the RPMs go up, but the car doesnt accelerate
-hearing different tones of gear whine in different gears could be:
--bad bearings in the trans
--rear diff (if rwd) being noise
-shackey shifter if rwd = bad trans mount
-if fwd = bad shit linage, loose connection


what symptoms are you experiencing?

gear whine when shifting down shifting, like going from 3rd @ 35mph to 2nd at 25mph with the clutch in

clunk sound when release clutch too fast

Is this shit normal?

also chatter sounds when the engine speed is low but in gear with clutch disengaged, like 1krpms low.

Is my clutch normal and OK or am I just stupid?

yes, it will clunk when dropping the clutch.
could be made more noticeable with bad engine/trans mounts

gear whine when downshifting and coasting is fine. you're putting stress on the trans, and driveline components, and they will make different noise

year/make/model/mileage

Mustang GT

You can bring it to AAMCO for a free diagnostic. They are very decent, and actually need the car for a day or so.

each gear has a minimum RPM range. If you drop below it, shit will shake, rattle, and chirp.


What was the mileage when you bought it used?
How many owners before you?

Chattering noise could just be a low idle combined with the usual worn mounts and loose dash componenets, probably an ECU problem

Reset that fucker

>he paid more for the automatic

>he paid for an automatic

I think its funny desu

I had a bad clutch that was expensive to cure. It smoked, drank, and stayed out all night. All the counseling and treatment wasn't covered by my insurance. It's damn shame when good clutches go bad. I blamed myself for years.

Hey hey you dudes listen to me

Your car have a lot of gear
Why not drive in 1st gears until it's actually broken
Then you have 2rd 3th 4,5,6 to be a good spare
Truse me, it's actually save a lot of costs to run you car..

>he thinks a board on Veeky Forums is his hug box to post on

if this is a honda civic its an input shaft bearing that is about to shit the bed.

Best of luck op, i would suggest getting the transmission rebuilt before it cracks in half when the bearing falls apart. But yknow, what do i know ive only replaced like 30 of them.
