Whats it doing?
Do you take it to the track?
Its pretty easy to notice a slipping clutch.
If you rev up and dump the clutch do the tires spin?

when it begins to slip the pedal should push in a lot easier and when the clutch does eventually go the pedal will go straight to the floor and there will be no tension on it whatsoever.

Your RPM's go higher but the tires aren't spinning and you're not going anywhere. Then it will start to stink, kinda like hot brakes, but worse.

Soft pedal, and the above problem twice. I did manage to still smoke a 93 Cobra when it happened.
