Just thinking: Could you not jack up the car on one side. Put the transmission in the 5th gear. Then try to move the raised back wheel back and forth. If the clutch rubber springs are severely disintegrated you may feel lose slack in the drive train.

I have never don that. Maybe someone can chime in here?
