Usually a clutch slipping causes no damage except that you look bad, sitting at a light reving your motor and not moving.

I have never heard of a slipping clutch hurting a motor.

When you start the motor up in the morning.

Is it hard to get into first gear or reverse.

When you are driving down the road, lets say 35MPH put into 5th or 6th and step on the gas. Does the motor then rev up and you don't move or does it lug down and you go slower, kind of chug chug...

If you do not rev up when you go into a higher gear at a low RPM.I would say your clutch is fine.

Caveat - hard to diagnose over the internet. Any shop can check for a slipping clutch, it does not have to be a Porsche shop.

Those are signs which I have alway's used. Just don't do it often it's hard on the Boxster.
