Default How do I know if the clutch is slipping...

I got a grinding sound once or twice in a while when accelerating low in 2nd gear and Im not sure if its a clutch thing or a synchro thing.

Default Grinding sound like synchro thing...just based on general knowledge....

...slipping usually is found by the cars RPMS jumping up while accelerating, but the car not going faster.
