the popular method I have heard as to how to check your clutch is to

1. set the parking break

2. put the transmission in 4th (or 5th for a 5 speed)

3. let out the clutch and try to rev the engine, if you can, the clutch is
slipping

I've never had it "fail" on my rabbit with 85Kmiles, so I assume my clutch is
still good....I would assume that you would notice some loss of power if you
did need to have it worked on, though.
