A clutch is a mechanical device that provides for the transmission of power from the gearbox to the driveshaft when engaged, which can also be disengaged when changing gear.
If you can feel the vehicle not pulling when changing gear, it's probably time for a check-up.
The facings on the clutch disc wear over time as miles accumulate. The clutch pressure plate and flywheel can become scored, worn, warped or cracked from the heat and friction generated by the clutch.
When the clutch is worn, it reduces grip and produces more heat. The hotter the clutch gets, the less able it is to maintain its grip and the more it will slip.
