Try the usual tests, release the clutch while the handbrake is on, see if the car trys to pull forward strongly, or I think better, a quick change from second to fourth and accelerate hard. If it slips, then it`s worn.
Two things;
Got my car at 84000, now on 118,000? or so had a bit of use with it. I`ve noticed about three times, if I mismatch the revs too much, heavy on the accelerator before the clutch is fully engaged, I get monster revs and no acceleration. Done it once in first, twice in second while overtaking.
If I change gear properly
)) then no problem, warp-speed takeoffs are no problem. Therefore I think my clutch is gettting worn, but doesn`t need replacement yet.
Secondly, several people have reported that damage occurs to the flywheel if the clutch disintegrates, which it does very rapidly once slipping starts occuring properly. TAOM (the advice of millions) is to get it done absolute top priority if it starts, within 10-20 miles, certainly no more than 50.
