What are the symptoms of worn out clutch or the one that is close to worn out? From time to time I experience different behavior of my clutch.
1. When accelerating very gently from a standstill, 1st gear is working perfectly, but when I engage 2nd gear, car starts to move forward-backward for a second or two (only between 1000-1200RPM) and once I increase my RPM and accelerate further, it completely disappears. It happens only when I start the car in the morning and it is cold after sitting in the garage for the whole night.
2. When driving on a highway with speed around 100KPH (=62MPH) and I want to accelerate HARD in 6th gear, I can feel that my car is not accelerating in the way it used to before, that means the pull is not as strong, I remember 6th gear used to have stronger pull.
3. Hard acceleration itself feels not as strong as it used to be, but that can be my subjective feeling.
First point is probably the most important part for me as it is worrying me.
Second and third points can be just subjective feeling.
Thanks and excuse me for lack of my knowledge.
