I think my clutch is going, but I'm not sure. It's not slipping yet, but it does smell like clutch after driving in traffic. Are there any other signs to look for?

 

a clutch smells like burning dog crap. i swear i hate that stupid burnt clutch smell.

 

If it the engine will rev without the car accelerating (slipping) your clutch is going out.

 

Mine does that too, before and after I got a new clutch, so I don't think that is an indicator. I replaced mine with OEM too, the original one was basically worn out although it hadn't started to slip, so I wouldn't go by the smell if its not slipping.

 

I'll be tell you guys from the horse's mouth....when I accelarate, the RPM just jumps and the car doesn't really move anywhere. I do get that stench smell also. Dam, another $700..

 

you'll get a smell of gunpowder and it will be especially noticeable when you stop driving. that's the biggest clue for clutch wear, once it starts slipping you'll definitely know it's worn.. but its also too late. your clutch is going to kick the **** very soon

 

Thanks guys, appreciate the help! Not bad for the original clutch on an FD though-10 years.
