Default Whats are signs of clutch giving up?

Okay i dont know if it's me. . but what are signs that the clutch is giving up. Because i either feel like im lazy to push down the clutch to put it into gear but it grinds ( never happen before) or my clutch is giving up on me after putting over 100+hp on to my LS1 Camaro Z28 2000.

If it slips it is bad. A heads up beforehand would be the release point coming up farther and farther till eventually it slips.

Bad master or throwout might cause the problem you describe.

Well, if you do want to check on the clutch giving up, the first response was good advice. Throw it in 5th or 6th at a highway cruising speed and floor it. If it winds out and slips before grabbing, it's time for a new clutch.
