Clutch slipping on toyota previa d4d 53 plate can it be tightened or will it need replacing

In 1st it just screams up the revs and moves slowly same in second, in 3rd with foot right down it grips better but still not enough to pull as it should, this problem has increased every time the car has been drivin. Could it just need tightening or would you say i need new clutch.

The first thing to check is the clutch release mechanism for faults. If a cable check that the clutch operates fully from dis-engaged to engaged as if the pressure plate is held 1/2 off then the clutch will slip. If hydraulic the same fault will be from a master cylinder that has a blockage in the compensating port. It is cheaper to fix the operating bits before pulling out the gear box because normally if a clutch is worn out or the pressure plate is broken you will go nowhere regardless.

    thank you when you say from disengaged to engaged, i take it you mean the first point of engagement is that correct sorry i don't know much at all about cars, if it helps its a 2003 previa gls d4d, 2.0 will that mean it's cable or hydraulic? or how do i find out. My wife said she was driving down the motorway and heard a clunking noise so she slowed down and then the smell of burning rubber or water came from the car, we still get that smell now once car has gone so far. I checked water levels etc and all are fine.

A clutch cable doesn't take much to install. Who told you $600.00?? You don't have to take the trans. loose to do this. All you do is unhook the cable from pedal and unhook if from the trans. This job should only take you an hour if you've never done it before. How long has the clutch been in your car?

SOURCE: 2002 Civic Dx Clutch?

i have just replaced an 03 civic ex clutch and transmission bearings due to a customer being too harsh on it. It sounds like its got a little life left in it if you are easy on it. 

if there is adjustment in this model use the below walkthrough to adjust it.

adjust the clutch pedal, 

1. if you look up on the top of the clutch pedal, the first thing you should see if a clutch pedal position switch, and right behind it there is a locknut, looens the locknut. once you loosen it, back off on the pedal position switch or adjusting bolt untill it no longer touches the clutch pedal. 

2. now behind the clutch pedal, there is a pushrod. and on that pushrod, there is a locknut, loosen that locknut. Now turn the pushrod in or out to get the desired height and stroke at the clutch pedal. 

The freeplay is the amount of push on the clutch pedal to where is starts to have resistance from the top. I have usually been told it should be set at 1 1/2-2 inches of freeplay.

Once you set it, tighten the locknut on the pushrod. With the clutch pedal released, turn in the clutch pedal position switch untill it contacts the clutch pedal. then turn it an additional 3/4 to 1 turn. And tighten the locknut.

Now on top of the clutch pedal switch, there is a clutch interlock switch. Loosen the locknut on that switch. then press the clutch pedal to the floor.

release the clutch pedal 15-20 mm (0.59-0.79 in) from the fully pressed position, and hold it there. adjust the position of the clutch interlock switch so the engine will start with the clutch pedal in this position. then tighten the locknut on that switch.

Hope this helps

SOURCE: how do i tighten a clutch cable on a 97 jetta gls

There's a star wheel on the cable at the firewall. You can adjust it there. You can put tension on the clutch fork, that way you can see which way to turn the wheel to tighten it up. Hope this is helpful Phil

SOURCE: grinding sound on pressing clutch in at high revs

The grinding sound may be a throw out bearing or the pilot bearing. The sticking throttle problem sounds like a linkage or cable binding up from possibly damage due to the impact from the accident.

SOURCE: Clutch is slipping on my 1995 BMW 318ti

to be fully honest if its doing this its wont be nothing to do the the fluid, the clutch plate will be sticking on the shaft untill you get it upto a higher speed,, that means you will need a complete clutch fitted, because as its slipping it is burning the clutch plate away,, you have new clutch fitted and car will be great. . playing away with things only makes matters worse and time comsuming ..

if hydraulic it will be the clutch master cylinder and needs replacing
if they are both new items then the clutch needs to come out as it could be oil on the clutch plate making it slip

2004 Celica clutch is slipping after car is underway .Say you are going 30 and accelerate the clutch will slip

It sounds like your clutch plate has worn away so slips when under pressure ie,pulling up hill or a heavy right foot.An easy way to test this is to pull your hand break on and try to pull away,if your revs lift without pulling the car then its slipping, there are clutch kits out there for around 50-70,they come with a new clutch plate,new bearing and a new preasure plate.If you do the job yourself make certain that no oily hands or grease gets anywher near the new clutch plate as i found out to my expence.It slipped as the old 1 did so had to do the job twice.Good luck and hope this helps.

I had anew clutch in the hyundia in 2010 it seems to be slipping how long should it last can it be adjusted

Clutch life is determined by several factors, most of which you have control over. Excessive revs while slipping the clutch to move slowly, resting you foot on the clutch pedal instead of the foot rest, starting to move in 2nd instead of 1st, allowing the vehicle to run back when engaging the clutch to go forward. Assuming you do not do any of these things then it comes back to the clutch master cylinder being faulty and a compensating port is blocked and holding the clutch partially disengaged. The clutch is not normally adjustable. I would check the condition of the fluid and if it is almost black I would replace the m/cyl. Find out if the m/cyl has been replace if possible

How do i know my clutch is gone out

You can do a third gear test.. Try and start it in third and ease out on the clutch. If the car stalls your clutch is ok. if it slips most of the way, you know its not in good shape.

Other signs of a shot clutch is while its in gear you can floor it and the rpms will shoot up and the mph will not rise as fast, this is the clutch slipping on your flywheel.

Thinking its the clutch.

Hi there. Sounds like you have a slipping clutch and it’s most likely one of two main problems. The first is you need to see whether the clutch can be adjusted. If a self adjusting clutch, then the clutch plate may be worn and requires replacement. I’d have the problem checked-out quickly at either a Dealer or Clutch Specialist, the longer the clutch is slipping, the more damage you might be doing to either the flywheel or clutch pressure plate. Hope this helps, Scottech.
