Clutch inspection plate

C5 2001, 6 sp, is there a clutch inspection plate to check to see how the clutch plate is? Check to see if it worn, or needs replacing, it's not slipping at this time, miles on car is 59,734. Any idea how long miles clutch is good for, not driven real hard, now and then I get on it. No burn outs yet, hehe

You can remove the bottom of the clutch housing and you will be able to see the pressure plate & Flywheel, but there isn't really a way to see the clutch disc other than the edge of it.

Clutch

Thanks for all the info, back in my day I did this kind of work, rebuild trans, install new clutch install new PIG rear end, you know what a pig is right. Now I am 66 years old and getting younger now that I have a Corvette again hehe I just don't do major repairs anymore.
