clutch slipping?

[herostar]

How do I tell if I need a new clutch. What does it feel like if the clutch is slipping?

In higher gears, such as 5th, if you floor the gas, and you rpms rise slowly to about 2.5k, 3k, and then rev up fast like you put it in neutral, it's slipping.

Your clutch will start to slip in higher gears and then work it's way down 'till you have no clutch at all, like my car did.

Once you get to around 3K, you'll notice your revs will continue to rise and the spedo will stay close to the same or not rise as fast as it used to under heavy throttle. You'll also notice it when you go up a hill in 4th or 5th and put a load on the tranny.

Be careful if this is the case. Mine started slipping and remained ok for about three months and I babied it when I drove. The day I took it up to get replaced, I made it about half-way and it completely died on me and I ended up needing towed.
