There are generally 3 problems that indicate that the clutch has failed, or is about two.

1. Violent juddering of the vehicle as you pull away from a stand-still, and perhaps also when changing gear.

2. Inability to select any gear. An effect similar to not actually having depressed the clutch pedal at all. (The clutch is failing to disengage.)

3. The car does no pull away, or does so extremely slowly, and engine speed rises when you try to accelerate, but road speed does not increase. (The clutch is slipping. it feels similar to driving an automatic car,).

1 & 2 you will notice.

3 is easy to test. Engage the hand-brake/Parking brake. Select first gear, and try and pull away normally, slowly. If the clutch is good the car engine will stall. If the clutch is worn out you will be able to take your foot of the clutch pedal while in first gear, with the engine running, and the car will not move. (do not do this for more than 3 or 4 seconds, or you may do more damage!)
