Doesn't really mean your clutch is on going tho.
Try just lettin you car sit idling for a minute then put it in reverse. If you get a mega crunch then that could be a sign.

lol, is easier to take it to your local garage and ask them.
They'll most likely be able to give you and indication by giving it a quick drive and probably not cost you a thing.
