prob clutchon way out, 40k isn't bad for a standard clutch if driven hard

MY car has only 19000 on the clock and sometimes the clutch stinks!!! is this normal. usually during quick starts or slow manouvering when on the clutch a bit.
thanks

I had clutch slip on mine sti.

Under warranty from delaer so being replaced by API and cost covered by delaer.

Wasn't too bad at 1st not long had the car and was my first car with some power so taking it steady but when you stick your foot down you notice and now is a lot worse.

Hope to be up api soon. and yes when you have floored it and its slipped you can smell it

Best test is to go up a bit of a hill in a highish gear and put your foot down. Higher revs + no additional rate of progress = Clutch on way out.
