Question

What causes automotive hybrid powertrain coupling clutch "slipping"?

Answer

Wear on clutch plates and hydraulic pressure loss.

Explain

Slipping clutches increase fuel consumption. CHEPQ tools test hydraulic pressure (1000-1500 psi) and inspect clutch plate wear—replacing worn plates or repairing hydraulic leaks prevents slipping.
