How do you know when the clutch is going or gone in an automatic or manual transmission.

Question

If your answering this just to make fun of me than go **** yourself.

Answer 1

To check the clutch on a manual transmission, have the vehicle moving on relatively flat ground at 30mph or so in top gear. The engine will be at fairly low revs. Put the throttle to the floor and then push and release the clutch pedal quickly. The engine will rev up as soon as you push the clutch in, and should drop back to the original revs when you release the pedal. If it does your clutch is fine. If it stays revving higher or takes several seconds to come back down, you've got slippage and it's clutch replacement time.

In an automatic transmission, there is no clutch as such, but there are discs with similar friction material. If the transmission is shifting erratically or "soggy"...smell the transmission fluid on the dipstick. If it smells burnt or is black, the transmission is on it's way out.

Answer 2

clutch is going when it start to slip.

rev's are high and reaction of car move slow in automatic and manual.

hard to shift in manual

  

Answer 3

there isn't a clutch as far as an automatic transmission, but as far as manual, you'll know its gone when you try to push it and the gas pedal in and it lunges as if you weren't using the clutch at all

Answer 4

One tell-tale sign for the clutch going out of a manual is to get it up on the interstate, 60+ MPH, and take it out of gear.  If you hear the engine rev when you do this (or see the RPM gauge go up before going down),  then odds are the clutch is going out.

If you are very familiar with the vehicle and notice that the catch/release point is moving up (where your left foot and the clutch pedal are positioned when changing gears), then odds are it's going out.  If you are not familiar with the vehicle (it's just one you are looking to buy and haven't driven much) then don't rely on this method, as some vehicles just have a high release point, even though they are fine.

Hope this helps.
