If you dont feel it slipping or chattering then it is probably ok. If the pedal travel has become longer as time has went by then its probably getting close to needing replaced. If its originally with 220,000 miles on it then it may be time to replace it as maintemance if you have the funds.
Your entitled to oxygen. Everything else is earned.

The IRS Agents that have been tracking you are in Cahoots with the shop mechanic. They are plotting to confiscate your vechile. I'd find a new place to garage your Colorado !!! w

... you don’t even need a clutch... get the rpm just right and it’ll slide in gear like butter
Insert profound nonsense here

Wow i thought i was behind the 8 ball on getting my truck ready for trapping, I need to change out the transfer case fluid and put new tires on it. Coon man 220 you really need to consider just getting a good used more reliable truck.
Let me sugar coat this

Good luck with that truck coonman. I, born and bred in Flint, MI, birthplace of GM, but sadly walked away from Chevys forever, with my last GM product being a 2010 Colorado. Repeated junk small series trucks, with my Colorado being at the dealer more than my driveway most times.
Tacomas are my trapping vehicle of choice.
