Remove the inspection cover to check fro abnormal wear. In some
cars, there is a plastic cover located on the bottom of the bell
housing. (The bell housing is the part that holds the clutch and is
bolted to the engine block.) This plastic... cover is called an
inspection cover and can be popped off to view the clutch. Remove the
inspection cover with a flathead screwdriver and look for any signs of
abnormal wear. If your clutch is going bad, there will be substantial
visible damage---not just black powder.

Remove the
transmission. Beyond these indicators, the only other way to check if
your clutch is going bad is to remove the transmission. Unless you have
advanced automotive knowledge and equipment, this will need to be done
at a transmission shop.
