clutch wear

Ok, im 19 so i havent been driving for too long, and i wanted to know what the car drives like when the clutch is worn out. i think my clutch is almost done because it seems to take a while to engage and it's really really hard to spin the tires at all, no its not from a lack of power ive got decent upgrades.

put it in a high gear (4th) and slow down past 30-20 mph.... even slower. Then start to accelerate back up to 50-60 (moderate, don't floor it). if the clutch is slipping you wont be accelerating.

If you press on the gas and the RPM go up but you speed doesn't, it means that your clutch is shot.

Also, a burning smell. That means the clutch is slipping. I blew mine out a while ago, and it smelled HORRIBLE when i tried to accelerate. I had to floor it to get moving AT ALL.
