It will start slipping. which you will know when it happens. You will notice that the pedal is a lot farther out then usual before it hooks up.
then later you'll let the clutch out and the RPM's will still be high and the car won't go to quick. Like the pedal is not fully out.

your clutch will be fine for the rest of that cars life. unless you plan on turboing your car, which i suggest you read up on first before just buying a bolt on, or you tune the **** out of your car n/a... you have no worries with it stock.

well you can burn out any clutch on any car.....how long have you been driving stick? cause sometimes, you might "glaze" you clutch which means it overheats and cant dissipate the heat fast enough, so usually you'll have to stop somewhere and let it cool and then wait like 30 min and you're good to go.....slipping clutch feels like when your on the throttle, and the rpms are still going up, but you aren't accelerating like normal....how do you normally drive manual?

there will be a lot more play in the clutch pedal and it wont be as tight, also if you smell clutch a lot it is probably sticking a bit and a good idea to change it

im changing mine tomorrow.i taught my now ex gf to drive stick. your clutch will be fine for a long time. if you smell something burning,its your clutch. you know that you are slippin when the rpms are like at 4k+ and you need to gas it up to go faster.
