Default clutch is going out?

i got a stock d16z6 motor, and today i just realize that i've been letting the clutch out too high than usual. every time i launch, no traction loss. is that a clue that my clutch will very soon go out?

Do you mean letting the clutch out at a higher RPM than usual, or do you mean the clutch pedal doesn't need to be pressed in as far than it did before?

If your clutch were to be going out, you'd feel it slip first. And even then it'd take a long period of time from when it started to slip, to catastrophic failure.

Unless when you dump and all you feel is a quick grab followed by no moving and a high rev because you didn't expect it to slip and sit in place, I doubt your clutch is going, you just either don't have a lot of WHP or good traction.

EDIT: This is what I'm going off of.
