Well, I was thinking of physically stopping the engine (i.e. add a brake or possibly an early combustion event or something) while rolling and seeing if the clutch would slip and disengage. And if so how smooth would it be. IF that unit is spinning clockwise it might just slip as the housing is overdriven relative to the engine output shaft.
