How would I know if my clutch is going bad on a ford fiesta 2004 1.25?
Clutches provide clamping power that carries the torque from the motor to the wheels. If your clutch is slipping, your motor will spin up, but your wheels will not change speed at the expected rate.
Unless it is -really- bad, your clutch shouldn't slip at low engine speed. When your engine gets to 3,000 rpm or so, the power becomes greater and slippage is more likely. You might hear a sound like metal to metal contact that "spins up" at the same rate as your motor.

With the engine running and the e brake set, drop it into 1st and let off of the clutch slowly. If it stalls, the clutch is still ok. If it runs but labored, that clutch has failed.
It will slip and you can smell it burning! The engine will run away but the car won, t be going any faster!
It will slip, have a bad smell like burning brakes.

- Help truck isn't going into gear and when I let the clutch out it does? I have a 2001 standard Ford ranger. I barely had a new clutch put in last year. But anyway I was going down highway in 5th gear and as I was going to put it in neutral it made a loud popping noise and then died. So I went to the side of the road and tried starting it, nothing. It starts up fine but the minute I let off the clutch it dies and when I try to shift it into 1 3 or 5 it feels like some thing is blocking it it'll act like it goes into 2 an 3 but it doesn't engage.
