| I would think you could take them to a place that deals with drive train products and have them tested. We have a place here in Ohio called Custom clutch and joint. |

| i dunno about markings, theres a couple differnt bearing styles, pre 69 or 70 & later are different. the one i have in my rail is weak, i'd just like to be able to tell if any of my others is any good before i change it out. |

| The way i have found out is to put the plate face up on the groud and just step on the center peice. You would feel like a double click. Or just see which one gives more resistense go with that one . (only done it on stock plates thougth.) |

Hot VW's had an article about testing clutches.
If you have a transmission input shaft as a clutch pilot, shorten it up a little and weld a socket onto it. Now with a flywheel lock, you can put a torque wrench on your clutch pilot , and see what the torque is, it takes to slip the clutch.
IIRC, a stock clutch is around 80 ft lbs. |
