How to tell clutch is worn?
 

Hi all,

I have a '96 Civic with 160k mostly freeway miles. Recently it started to
stutter on take off. It feels like the clutch is catching, slipping,
catching, then slipping for the first 3 or 4 feet of the car's travel.

Is there a way to be sure it is the clutch before I start to disassemble the
transmission? Given the age of the car, I'm incline to think the clutch is
worn, but I want to be sure. It is a chore to replace the clutch.

Thanks in advance
