Listen for a rumbling when stationary that disappears when the clutch is depressed, also when driving listen for a rumbling when cruising with light throttle, this normally goes in 4th but will be present in all other gears. This will indicate if the input shaft bearings are gone, which is not uncommon in earlier Terranos/Mavs

No it’s a hydraulic clutch, pretty reliable as clutches go.
