This is the test I use when I check the clutch:
Drive at 60kph
Put the car in 5th (or 6th if its your highest gear)
plant the foot to the floor
if the rpm starts to climb rapidly but the car isnt accelerating just as fast, its the clutch.
Why i use this test is if the rpm climb faster than normal but not stupidly fast it usually means the clutch is on its way out but has some meat left. (usually enough to hold out till the new clutch arrives)
Hope that helps

This all for the e85 conversion?
I fitted my Courtenay sport intercooler over the weekend, and it seems a he'll of a lot smoother now through the rev range with a good pedal response.
Looking at the coolant temps they haven't changed much at all, stays around 86 degrees whilst driving around and up to around 92 when sitting at the lights.
