if the clutch plate gone weak thn you need to push more the accelerator pedal thn normal and whn the car is loaded (weight) or u r going on a steep high thn it looses the power frequently and some times u can also hear the scratching sound just near from your gear lever.
regarding the pressure plate : if it needs facing then whn ur car is on idle state (started) and close the doors of the car, sit in the car and notice that there will b a jerk (bump) u cud feel automatically in the car (this to be observe minutely) and if your car has done around 30,000 km u shud change the clutch plate and shk the pressure plate too.
