Default clutch question

Can you tell if a clutch is warn out by looking at it?

For ex... there are rivets in the friction material, and was wondering if they are some sort of wear indicator or anything? Maybe a min thickness spec?

Thx!

Well, different discs may have different minimum thicknesses. But, you want to be sure you replace the disk before it gets down to the rivets because they might score your flywheel. Do you have the disk out right now? If so post a pic! If it's questionable though and you have the disk out, then it's the best time to replace it!
