Ugh, sounds terrible! Just like trying to squeeze toothpaste out of an empty tube—frustrating and messy!
If your clutch is slipping or you notice a change in the pedal feel, it might be time for a diagnosis. Check for any unusual noises too.
Great point! I also noticed that my car was stalling when I was shifting. Is that a common sign?

Stalling can indicate clutch problems, especially if it happens during gear changes. Have you checked the clutch fluid levels?

Yes, check that fluid! When my clutch went bad, it turned out to be low fluid. A quick top-up helped for a short while.
What did you do when it finally needed a full replacement? DIY or mechanic?
I ended up going to a mechanic because I wanted it done right. It cost about $800, but it was worth the peace of mind.
That’s a good investment! But can anyone suggest DIY solutions if we are on a budget? I’m trying to avoid the repair shop if possible.
DIY can be challenging with clutch work; it’s a tricky process! But if you watch enough tutorials, you might tackle minor issues like replacing a fluid.
Ha! Might have to binge some car DIY videos! Has anyone actually fixed their clutch this way?
