Signs of a worn clutch?
Hey I'm just curious what are some obvious signs of a worn clutch? My car has 188,000 KMS on it and still has the stock clutch. The previous owner took very good care of it, but in the last few days i've noticed what feels like w worn clutch. When I'm in second and i slam on the gas (after its warmed up ofcourse) the rpms fly up but it doesnt really feel like its kicking in. Then the rpms will drop and it will kick in. Kind of like it just caught on. Does this sound like the clutch? or possibly the belt?

I'll try that then get back to you guys. If it is my clutch I will probably just buy a dynapak cluthc from my work. I dont think i need to go all out with a spec clutch or a centerforce.
