A clutch will ultimately fail. Therefore, once it fails is a good time to replace it. If you need to have the transmission out for any reason, it would be a good time to inspect the clutch and replace if signs of wear are high. New clutch parts are likely $400-600. Labor is the another $500-$1k?. Not a cheap job whether its needed or not.
