Either empty or loaded makes little difference. Also gear seems to make little difference. Under full acceleration or sometimes going up a hill it will rev up a bit like something is slipping. Any idea what it could be? 2017 Freightliner Cascadia. 10 speed manual. 565,000 miles.

, not the end of the world, usually the disc springs break before it slips. Slipping could indicate something leaking on it? Slipping is the worst thing, because now the flywheel is warped, and will chatter like Aunt Tilly with a glass of wine. I went through 3 clutches( on 2 separate trucks) and everytime, the springs in the disc broke. I went back to the parts guy and said, this isn't right, he said, well you can go with "Extreme Duty", with no springs. I said, lay it on me, brother, and never had a clutch issue again.
Cattleman84 and Rideandrepair Thank this. -
