I read in a book once (Pererson's Big Book of Auto Repair from the 70's I think--yeah I'm old), that you can test a clutch by putting it in 4th gear and letting out the clutch slowly. If it smoothly loses RPM, then dies--that is good. If it bucks, the clutch is defective.
I'm not sure if this is a valid test, but it sounds reasonable.

Hmm... Since only one other person answered your question on what would be a good clutch, I'll recommend one. Check out the Centerforce LMC (Light Metal Clutch) and a 6-puck disk. That'll shave a BUNCH of weight off your driveline and make your acceleration nice and "peppy."[sm=devilgrin.gif] I got the dual friction unit and it made quite a difference. Made me wish I had waited just a while longer and gotten the LMC for even more pep. Caveat, going from the stock clutch to the new one is like putting the clutch of an 18-wheeler in there! But I like it that way. When I first had mine put in, it felt SUPER tight, but it's not as tight now. Don't know if that's a good thing or not. Did I get used to it or is something amiss?

lol that could be. And i tried that thing where someone said to let it out in 4th. It let out smoothly. So iono. Prob just me. does the clutch improve performance?

A clutch nowadays in any car should last much longer than 20k miles. Even if you're one of those that ride the clutch more than the gas pedal, it should last longer.

You mean clutch and pressure plate don't you? Also don't forget the throwout bearing, as long as you're in there.
