Hi,

welkommen!

A good way to test your clutch: try to drive in fourth gear, some 40 kmh
and then push the gas to the bottom. You'll be sure to notice if your rpms
go up and in that case you'll have to change it. The sooner the better,
then you can probably change the clutch-plate only. Which is easy. 

luck!
