jayb151 - I'm not saying to not replace your clutch. But when your clutch goes, you know it. And even when it is going out, from all my experience the car is still drivable. Not that you want to drive it like that. but here's an example.
My sons G35 had a clutch going out. If you throttled it hard enough in any of the top gears, it was as if you half pushed the clutch. The car would accelerate by the rpms would rev inordinately high ... like half pushing the clutch and purposely slipping it.
I let him drive around 3 or 4 weeks like this (why I figured out the replacement). I told him to gently release the clutch and gently accelerate. If you do this gentle enough, the clutch won't slip. And he did, he drove it that way. And guess what it did! It taught him EXCELLENT clutch control. After I did replace the clutch, I don't think he'll ever wear a clutch out again. He knows now how to be gentle with it and minimize slip to get it fully engaged. It was either $700 or $750 to go back with the stock type clutch (dual mass I think it was called). Worked great afterwards.
And my Cummins Ram got to the point where when I was pulling a heavy enough load, and starting pulling a hill, when the turbo would hit a certain boost level, it would also slip and rev. I drove the truck for a long time like that, just trying to take it easy on the clutch. Finally the pilot bearing gave way (I don't see how that would be related to slipping the clutch), and me and a buddy pulled the clutch out and I assembled a 1,000 lb-ft clutch in it. That was fun. Oh to have a lift and lots of good tools.
So if you don't notice it revving like your half pushing the clutch, maybe your clutch is fine and you could save a few hundred dollars. But of course, you're the best judge of that.
