Self adjusting clutch and wear

I have 2007 (987) 2.7l with a 6 speed manual transmission with 107,000 miles on original clutch. My dring type is non agrevive/smooth with 60% highway 40% city.
My Porsche indy mechanic sais that my clutch is “self adjusting type” and when the clutch goes it goes without much warning.
Is this true?
And how can you tell or test to see if your clutch needs replacement.
Right now it shifts fine and no slipping.

Thanks

My car has 313,000 miles and it's still on the original clutch.
My driving style is aggressive/smooth with 60% highway, 30% city and 10% track.
When the clutch starts to go, you'll feel the RPMs rise while he speed doesn't as you accelerate in a high gear (5th/6th).
Happy Porsche'ing,
Pedro

I thought so.
Once again. Thank you Perdo

When your clutch starts to reach its wear limit it will gradually start slipping. There is no realistic concern that it will suddenly fail on you.

The same holds true for the fluid. As it becomes more contaminated, the clutch pedal will gradually lose its ability to release the clutch.

I recommend you bleed the clutch when changing the brake fluid. It's a simple job.

See you in NC?
