Hi! I am no mechanic, but will try to offer a few explanations. It is very possible that your clutch has worn out. The clutch essentially consists of two plates which contact when your foot is off the clutch pedal ( or when you are not changing gear in an automatic). The stress of going uphill could be causing the two plates to slip against each other before grabbing again, causing the car to shudder as power is abrubtly applied to the wheels in a staccato way. There may be a smell of burning too. Alternatively, perhaps the engine may not be running on all cylinders, which will result in a clunky sound, or the timing may be out, which will result in what is called pinking. (see the wikipedia site). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engine_knocking
Hope this helps.
What else can I help you with?
What causes a vehicle to not accelerate as quickly in the mountains?
because it is going uphill and the engine has to work harder?
Does a heavy car go faster downhill that going uphill?
No the can go faster downhill or uphill
How do you get more power going uphill?
downshift
Why can a car so easily pass a loaded truck when going uphill?
Cars are typically lighter and have more power-to-weight ratio than loaded trucks, allowing them to accelerate faster uphill. Additionally, cars often have more aerodynamic designs, which can help reduce air resistance and improve fuel efficiency during uphill climbs.
Who has the right of way when hiking, uphill or downhill?
In hiking, the general rule is that hikers going uphill have the right of way over those going downhill. This is because it is usually harder for uphill hikers to stop and start again compared to downhill hikers.
Why does your car slow down while going uphill?
gravity!
What causes engine to lose power going uphill?
Gravity.
Going uphill was the tiring experience in my whole life?
เาา
Why your car jerks when going uphill?
Engine is in need of tuning.
Is less pedalling suggested when going uphill or downhill?
noo
Ford Ranger dies going uphill?
A Ford Ranger may die going uphill due to ignition problems. There could also be a problem with the fuel injection or fuel pump.
What gear should I use when going uphill on a bike?
When going uphill on a bike, it is recommended to use a lower gear to make pedaling easier. This will help you maintain a steady pace and conserve energy.
