You can try watching them while feathering the clutch by opening the door and leaning out a bit.

Hope the door mats weren't damaged!!
Tried all of the above... I actually had gravel/mud fly in my face as I was leaning out with the door open trying to feather the clutch.
I used the door mats from the porch, not the ones that came with the car and they will have to be trashed... pretty sorry state with mud caked in.
