Testing the clutch

  •

Whats the best way to test your clutch for slipping?

 

I put my handbrake on and then in 1st gear tried to pull away. The car pull away fine with no unusal revs to indicate any slip. However, I could smell my clutch afterwards. Is this normal?

    LOL That's quite normal I think!

    Have you tested the brakes by keeping the pedal down and dropping the clutch at 6k RPM? :rofl:

     

    Test the clutch by labouring the engine in 5th gear up a steep hill.

    If the revs rise but the speed doesn't then it's slipping ;)
