There is a tool..... a go , no go tool.... which is used to check the thickness of the clutch.... if you get one that is an easy quick first check on the friction pad thickness ....
It is sorta standard procedure.... for others watching... to replace the clutch and the throwout bearing when the transmission is taken out... to avoid having to take it out unnecessarily fast just when it wears out....
If you were able to take the rear wheels off the ground...
and place a mechanics stethiscope on the metal rod which pushes on the throwout bearing .... with the engine running.... it might be of use diagnostically.... a lot of trouble if you are not set up for it....
