Manual Transmission Clutch Started To Slip

Do I need New Clutch I have a manual transmission. Lately the clutch has started to slip. Does that mean I need a new clutch? Its not necessary,but yes if the vehicle is driven more miles and clutch is not replaced since long then replacing the clutch will help to take care of the problem. It depends. If your clutch has low miles on it (40,000 or less), chances are the slippage is due to one of two things: oil contamination or a misadjusted clutch linkage. If your clutch has a lot of miles on it (60,000 or more), chances are it's worn out and you need to replace it. Manual transmission clutch slips after 20 minuets of driving If the clutch is slipping right from the start or after an hour(doesn't matter), the clutch is no good. My thought is that its not actually the clutch disc thats no good but that the pressure plate is defective. If you've had the clutch replaced recently...Take it back...!!! You should be completely under warranty... the clutch operates
