obviously you know its bad when you RPMs are going up and you are not goin anywhere... but what are other signs? I just feel like i should be going faster...

you can see my list of mods, but just to braoden it up i have about 66,000 miles on this clutch and i have an EVO turbo...what do guys think? i have no problem really with the clutch besides it feels like nothing when i have to engage it...but never any problems driving

????
 
I've always noticed an odd (but pretty mild) shuddering when pulling away from a stop as the first sign of clutch failure. Advances pretty rapidly into rpms going up and car not moving when trying to accelerate at a decent pace :)
 
i have no idea what this could be, or maybe this is what you mean but, i got on my car the other day through like 3rd gear, and it would pull hard and then at like 5,000 rpms i could feel it in the pedal so it wasn't dramatic, but like it would like pulse a little like the rpms were going up faster and then slowing down then going up and slowing down udnerneath my foot...i dont know what it was at all, i didn't notice anything funny with any of my gauges or anything else...its not like the timing was being slowed down because i had that happen to me once when i had really bad boost creep

what do you guys think?
