Clutch???

Hey guys I got a question for you.

When do you know when to change the clutch in your car.
When I drive my car, it doesn't slip but it doesn't catch as fast as it used to. So when I drive its not as smooth and more rough. Plus the gear box feels different like something is wrong with it...is it because the clutch?
I dunno...info please

if it doesn't seem to be grabbing as hard as it used to be,it's probably on it's way out.once it starts getting really bad it will be really obvious.
as for the tranny,"feels different like something is wrong with it" doesn't really tell us anything to determine if it's clutch related or not.be more specific about what it's doing.

Some signs I have noticed after going through several clutches:

awful smell of the disc
RPMs go up but car doesn't accelerate
