Symptoms
- The engine revs up without the car accelerating as much (slipping), especially when pulling away or uphill.
- Jerky pulling away or a harsh, abrupt clutch.
- With the Dualogic: gear changes take longer, the car jumps into neutral or shows a fault message.
- A burning smell after hard acceleration.
Why does this matter with the Dualogic?
The robot adapts to the wear. When the clutch is worn out, the robot runs out of range and gear-change faults appear. After replacement the clutch has to be calibrated again with diagnostic equipment; we always do this. We also replace the clutch fork and the transmission oil.

Frequently asked questions
How long does a Fiat 500 clutch last?
That depends a lot on how the car is used. Lots of city traffic and pulling away uphill wear it faster. If in doubt, have the remaining clutch wear measured; with the Dualogic this can be done with diagnostic equipment.
Does the flywheel need replacing too?
The 0.9 TwinAir has a dual-mass flywheel. If you hear rattling at idle or feel vibrations, it is wise to replace it at the same time. We always discuss this with you first.
