Default How to know if your clutch is going bad?

What are some signs that I might need a new clutch. When I get on the gas the car feels like its slipping. It will go the slip and then go for a bit then slip. It does this for each gear. My neighbor was riding w me and told me he just had the same problem and it was his clutch. Do I need a new clutch or is there some other thing causing this problem?

You can tell by putting it in 3rd gear going about 20mph and hit the gas. If the motor revs but you don't really go, it's slipping. If it takes off and sounds like the motor is struggling, then it's ok.
