Clutch Situtation

How do you know when you need a new clutch?

What are the signs and such?

Well, with that new of a car (2002 Civic EX) You should not need a new clutch for a long time unless you are like my friend and cant drive without always slipping the clutch big time. A good way to test if the clutch is still good is to see if you can pop the clutch and slin your tires. Put it in first, Rev it up, pop the clutch. If your tires spin, clutch is still good.

Ok, I can still spin my tires. Good. It's just that this is my first manual and I didn't even test drive the car before i bought it. I had to learn how to drive it after the papers were signed. So a lot of stalling out or spinning the tires happened on the first day of driving it.

I've only slipped a gear twice. I sounded horrible when I did it, so I am always careful now.

Thank You.
