I had my car on my car ramps today, and when i was bringing my car back down, I decided to test my clutch. The car was off, I pulled up the the e brake, put it in third, and eased down the e brake. The clutch slipped and I rolled down the ramp. It wasn't smooth it was very jerky, the clutch engaged and then slipped momentarily sort of thing. This was for about 2 feet so I don't feel horrible about it.
The car does sometimes jerk when shifting from 1st to 2nd or moving from a standstill but I've always chalked it up to me being a horrible driver.

Last clutch replacement was about 70-80k kms(first owner), its a heavy clutch that engages really soon, biting point is like 3-6 cm from the fully dperessed. Now at around 150k kms (third owner) [factory engine still running strong aw yis]

So the final question is, am I going to need a new clutch?

I don't think I understand the premise of that test? Are you sure the clutch slipped instead of the engine spinning? I have never heard of testing it that way before, and to be honest I can't say it makes a lot of sense to me.

The way I have always tested a clutch is to (while driving) put it in top gear and floor it. Generally when a clutch is truly banjaxed it will slip in the highest gears first.

Didn't really plan it, was a spur of the moment thing.
Thanks though I'll try that next time I drive.

If it's an aftermarket clutch, it could be that it's not a full face disk. Seeing as you said it's heavy leads me to believe that it was replaced with a stronger unit. I'm not sure if the manual had an inspection plate(I own an auto), but it's worth taking a look at.
