Real good test for the whole driveline this one although it can be brutal,
bang cathunk tinkle tinkle as the prop shaft hits the ground! A little more
gentle a test for the clutch is to use the handbrake and first gear and see
if the clutch will slip or stall the engine when you attempt to take off.

put your car in 4th gear
get the revs up a little and drop the clutch
if the clutch grips and the car jumps forward then stalls the clutch is fine
