Why is my Kia Ceed's clutch slipping?

I recently noticed that my Kia Ceed's clutch is slipping. It's been difficult to shift gears smoothly and I'm worried that there could be a bigger issue. What could be causing this and what can I do to fix it?

The most common reason for a slipping clutch is excessive wear. Make sure to check the condition of your clutch plate and replace it if necessary.

Low clutch fluid or a leak in the system could also cause slipping. Make sure to check the fluid levels and repair any leaks.

It's also possible that your clutch cable is loose or needs to be adjusted. Have a mechanic take a look and make any necessary adjustments.
