How to recognize the symptom of a worn clutch disc

Model: (Various brands) Various
Part: Clutch

In this video, it is very clearly illustrated what is the symptom that makes us understand that the clutch bearing (also called "thrust bearing") is irreversibly worn out. If we push the clutch pedal, we hear a characteristic noise, a whistle or a squeak, which becomes more evident when we accelerate. The main function of this component is to allow the disengagement of the clutch, allowing the driver to change gears. The cause of this failure, in addition to the natural wear and tear over time, is mainly due to driving style: in particular, keeping the foot on the clutch pedal when not necessary is the cause of premature wear, which leads to a very expensive repair.
