[QUOTEHow can you make sure the clutch is "in good shape" via a test drive?[/QUOTE]

Stop the car. Set the park brake. Put it in 5th gear. Rev the engine to red line. Pop the clutch while keeping the engine reved.

If the engine dies, the clutch is good.
If the engine keeps running, the clutch is bad.

Note: Don't let the current owner see you do this test.
