What are some signs of clutch about to go....

... my clutch is acting weird, it grinds into gears that it never did before, and whenever i press the clutch while switching it vibrates and feels "different" i dunno something doesn't seem right, and i can't put my finger on it, but sometimes its perfectly normal, like nice smooth shifts... i don't get it.
Peace,
Jose

park on a flat peice of road. Put the car in 4th gear and let out the clitch nice and easy..do not give it any gas, just let the clutch out. If the car begins to roll than you still have meat on the clutch

How many miles you got?

one sign is if it just slips when you floor it...meaning it just revs up and doesnt go anywhere.

one way to test it, is go in 5th gear and floor it..if it slips it may be going bad. If not then it should still be good.

Are there any other signs...

...it doesn't slip or anything its just i feel a faint vibration sometimes when i press the pedal, and other times i don't and once and while it won't go into gear, none of these problems ever happened before, so i was just curious what could be wrong
Peace,
Jose

yup 1st would cause it to buck and stall, but 4th the gearing is just right, no torque pull. So if you have meat the clutch will catch and the car will roll. if you let it out slow and it stalls without rolling than your clutch is burnt

As long as it rolls it means you still got meat on the clutch. No roll and a stall means your clutch is crap
