When should a clutch need repair in an Acura 2006 TL?

Answer 1

Assuming that your car has a tachometer, accelerate moderately hard in an empty lot (or other unobstructed and deserted area) and watch your tach and speedometer. If you're confident that your final drive will take the stress, just sidestep the clutch and launch. If you don't move (or take off slowly) and the tach rockets up, then your clutch is slipping, and it's time to replace it. If you're accustomed to the car, however, you should become aware of a slipping clutch -- it'll be obvious; you just won't accelerate.
