I figure I will just ask....no question is too dumb right?

How do you know when your clutch is going? Im just curious...

It will start to have less "grab" so to speak...you can tell...

when it starts to slip.. that's a pretty good indication that it's going

If the engine speed increases, and the vehicle speed doesnt increase right with it... its clutch time :)

dont mean to threadjack, but arent the higher stage clutches harder on your transmission?
