Back from the mechanics. He tested the car and told me that the "Clutch is gone". I fully trust him on the diagnostic. However, what are the signs that the clutch is gone? Very often, I pressed the gas pedal to accelerate, and the accelaration takes place only after a few seconds. Thanks for your advice!
The most common sign that the clutch is gone is when you apply throttle to accelerate and the acceleration takes place after a delay or the engine RPM increases without a corresponding increase in vehicle speed.
That's one of the signs. You need a clutch.
Thanks, dear friends. I will have it changed on Thursday! I look forward to feeling the difference. Sometimes drivers behind me seem to wonder why I'm not going ahead faster. For now I should put a sign on my car saying, "My clutch is gone! Change lane!".
A simple way is to put the clutch under load, ie drive up an incline, if the revs climb and your speed dosn't, then you need a new clutch.When i got my celica, I thought the clucth was slipping as it had the signs, took it to 3 places and they said it wasn't, mate drove it and could tell straight away.
