If you hit the Go Pedal with the car in gear and the car doesn't "Go", or revs climb really fast and the car doesn't "go very well", that's your clutch slipping.
Basically your wheels are connected to your engine via two halves of a sliced bagel. If you rotate one half and the other half doesn't rotate with it, that's clutch slip.
lol I'm sorry that's a horrible analogy. Go here instead and you'll understand it immediately.

Basically if the car scoots along in first and second gear like it did before, your clutch is fine for now.
