Kia in with a slipping clutch. After inspection, we found it badly worn. Replaced with a high-quality clutch kit and the car is now back on the road driving perfectly.

This Kia recently came into 1Stop Motor Shop in Newtownabbey with serious drivability issues. The customer reported the engine revving but the car not pulling properly — a classic sign of a slipping clutch.

After inspecting the transmission, we confirmed the diagnosis. The clutch was badly worn, with visible scoring and reduced material, as shown in the photo above.

 

What Causes a Clutch to Slip?

Clutches wear down over time, especially with:

  • Stop-start urban driving

  • Towing or heavy loads

  • Riding the clutch or poor gear control

  • High mileage or poor-quality components

When a clutch slips, the engine revs but doesn’t deliver power to the wheels properly. This affects performance, fuel economy, and can leave you stranded if ignored.

 

New Clutch Fitted – Back on the Road

Once the issue was confirmed, we removed the old, worn-out clutch and replaced it with a new high-quality unit.

What we did:

  • Removed gearbox and clutch

  • Installed new clutch plate, pressure plate, and release bearing

  • Reassembled and tested on the road

  • Customer left with the car driving like new
