Although not as common today, millions of Americans still choose to drive manual transmission vehicles. Here are a few maintenance tips for your stick shift.
Clutch slips
When a clutch slips, the engine will rev, but the car doesn’t move as it should or not at all. This often indicates a worn clutch or a clutch pedal that needs to be adjusted.
Trouble getting into gear
Just like when the clutch slips, trouble shifting gears is another sign the clutch may need to be replaced. According to industry experts, trouble shifting or staying in gear could be a sign that an internal or external transmission part is worn or damaged, or it could signal an electrical problem.
Clutch sticks
This usually means the clutch master or slave cylinder has an external seal leakage and needs to be replaced, which can generally cost $100 to $300.
