You'll have to remove the flywheel and inspect the clutch disk wear.
You'll need a clutch align tool to reinstall the disk if you're not
replacing it.  I don't know what exactly is replacement thickness, but
if either of the sides are getting close to rivets I'd replace it.
You may consider replacing the pilot bearing, felt grease seal,
flywheel o-ring and engine main seal at the same time.  In both of my
Vanagons I replaced the clutch because of a failed pilot bearing not
because of clutch wear.
