LOL, seriously, I tried it on a manual car, it won't stall, you have to release the clutch very slowly, it determines is your clutch still give enough friction.

But since you have to release the clutch so slowly in 3rd, that's why it shouldn't perform often.

To be honest, I don't see what extra information this would give you.

The stall-out third gear test isn't really needed to start with(you should be able to tell), but being able to start in third gear by slipping the clutch...that will happen whether your clutch is slipping already or not.
