How do I know if my clutch is about to go out?

I bought a car about a week ago and everyone keeps telling im going to burn the clutch out, with that said after i learned how to drive the car, when i press the clutch or release it squeaks (while car is off)

When the car is on it squeaks a little as i release, is it a bad sign?How do I know if my clutch is about to go out?Squeaking when you push the pedal is a sign of nothing



You'll know it when the clutch goes. It will slip. slip means you are doing 30 mph and you push the gas to go to 40 mph. The engine goes up to 4000 rpm but the car doesn't go and faster;



Nomally the car would accelerate but because the clutch is slipping the engine doesn't speed up the wheels. You'll know it when it happens.



Everyone is just giving you a hard time. They are cold and timid souls who are afraid to drive a stick.



Go for it dude. Don't worry what they say.How do I know if my clutch is about to go out?if there is continuous squeaking when you press the clutch pedal down this is probably a clutch bearing going, if it is just a single squeak something needs a shot of spray lube especially if it squeaks when the engine is turned off



clutches cables can be a problem find the squeak with the bonnet (aka Hood in USA) open or get a pal to listen near the pedals



If the engine slows when you press clutch down this is more serious



If you get any smell of burning or loss of speed when climbing steep hills get your wallet out unless there isa simple clearance adjuster that needs adjustingHow do I know if my clutch is about to go out?Its just the pedal squeaking, spray it. When it starts to wear out, it will slip, as you step on the gas you will hear the engine rpms pick up as it slips.. wait till you have a dead bat. or starter one day and you have them give you a push, turn it on, put it in gear, and pop the clutch and Bingo it starts and You go home.How do I know if my clutch is about to go out?No. The pivot point on the pedal where the push-rod attaches is squeaking. A shot of silicone lubricant on that point will take care of it. Life is good.How do I know if my clutch is about to go out?not enough info. might be an internal squeak which is bad or just a pedal squeak a few drops of oil will fix.How do I know if my clutch is about to go out?Get an automatic and forget the stick shift
