Bad Clutch?
How can I tell if my clutch is going bad and needs to be replaced?
It might be my imagination, but when shifting it seems like I am not getting "full power" to the wheels for a second after I shift......

Shift from 1st to 2nd, floor it when letting out the clutch...if your tach zooms skyward but your MPH does not...it's slipping....

The stock clutches on the C5 are pretty tough, but the first signs of replacment are in the situation described above.
You'll probably be ok in normal driving for a while. But the next time you do some hard driving, and you really want that pull in 3rd gear, it probably won't be there.
