What to pay attention to
Slipping under load, a pedal that feels different, difficulty selecting gears or judder when moving off are the main signs of clutch wear.
Why an inspection may still be needed
Clutch wear is usually gradual, and similar symptoms can also come from hydraulic or linkage faults rather than the friction plate itself.
A sensible next step
Note when the symptom happens, avoid riding the clutch unnecessarily, and book an assessment before a slipping clutch leaves you without drive.
