when your clutch is done and starts slipping you will know immediately without having to think about it kinda like a flat tire.... you will step on the gas and your engine will rev up but that power will not be transfered to the wheels...

Not sure why you would be looking for problems that do not exist. What is the deal?

youtube "slipping clutch" and you'll see exactly what will happen. It's 100% recognizable.
