How to Tell If Your Clutch Is Going Bad
1
Check the feel of
your clutch pedal. A major warning sign of a bad clutch is if your pedal
feels "squishy" or if your clutch doesn't engage until you've let the
pedal almost all of the way out. Drive your car around the block,
checking for these warning signs.

Watch for a burning smell.
If your clutch is going bad, you may smell something akin to burning
newspaper. This smell indicates friction from a slipping clutch.
