It can also be due to a fault in the release system.

The most common one is that the old flywheel was reused. When this happens it can do a lot of damage to the clutch and pressure plate.Ī new clutch can slip for a variety of reasons. This can happen when you have to slip the disc constantly (think traffic jam). If the clutch disc overheats, it can slip. The clutch disc will only cover a fraction of the available flywheel surface, and it won’t be enough to handle a high amount of torque. This can happen when you replace the clutch but not the flywheel (or you don’t have the flywheel resurfaced). Too much grease put on the pilot bearing or input shaft during installation.Leak in the clutch lines or clutch slave cylinder.Oil on your clutch disc is likely to be caused by:

Unlike a clutch disc that has worn out, an oily or greasy disc will usually grab again without you letting off the throttle (the slipping burns it up). If there is oil or grease that is leaking from your Spectra’s engine or transmission, it can cause the clutch to slip. The friction material wearing down is far and away the most common reason that a clutch slips. At this point, the clutch can no longer grip the flywheel properly, even though it still has pressure put on it from the pressure plate. When it wears all the way down to there is no friction surface left. While it is very likely that it will outlast a set of normal brake pads, it still does wear down. Think of your clutch like a giant brake pad. Smell– The smell of a burning clutch smell like rotten eggs or burnt carpet.

When the RPM goes up when you push the Spectra’s gas (but the other factors haven’t changed) that is evidence that the clutch is slipping.

RPM’s Rise– With a manual transmission, the RPM should only change when the gears change, or the vehicle’s speed increases/decreases.

There are a few symptoms associated with a clutch slipping. Eventually it’ll just stop grabbing altogether and your car or truck will no longer be able to move. It’ll happen at slower speeds and in gears closer to first. As the clutch burns up from slipping (and it will) the problem only gets worse. That’s when the clutch has the most force on it. This problem will first start showing itself in the later gears when driving your Spectra at higher speed. The natural reaction is to let off of the gas, and the RPM’s will go back down and the clutch will re-engage. Slipping feels like you’ve pressed the clutch in a bit and the RPM’s shoot up, even though you haven’t pressed the clutch at all. When there’s too much force coming from the engine for the clutch to handle, it slips. This can happen for a variety of reasons (the most common being that the disc is worn down). The phrase slipping clutch means that when the Spectra’s clutch is fully engaged there is not enough pressure or contact surface left to transfer the force from the flywheel to the transmission. Here’s the automatic transmission version of this article. Note: This article is for manual cars only. This guide is intended to help you determine why your clutch is slipping on the flywheel. This connection requires a tremendous amount of pressure. Your Kia Spectra’s clutch provides a direct connection between the engine and transmission.
