Default Testing Clutch?

I have a feeling my clutch is pretty worn out and needs to be replaced. The reasons why I think this is is because after about 4000 rpm's the car accelerates much much slower but the rpms continue to rise(slippage?), and it grabs pretty close to the top. So is there any way to test if your clutch is is going?

I don't know how to test if your clutch is gone, but I had they same problem and I got a new clutch and wow, what a difference. I bought the Centerforce 3 stage and it is great! Only problem is it's around $650 but it's wroth every penny.

while driving get the car up to about 55 and when in 6th gear press the gas all the way down and if the RPMs raise faster then they should then its time for a new clutch

I've also heard about another way where you don't need to drive to test. Friend of mine told me to start the car, put it in 4th gear, put on the hand break and slowly let off the clutch. If you don't stall, then your clutch is gone for sure.

Not 100% sure as to how true this is in diagnosing your clutch

Let me drive it. Or, you really rev the engine up and now feed it clutch. If your rpm's start to rise faster than it is time to shift, your clutch is slipping in 1st is any gear it will.
