> Listers, Got a new one for you. I"ve followed the threads on transmission

> back off on the throttle, then engine speed slows down and car continues to
> accelerate. During the restoration process several years ago, a
> knowledgable mechanic checked out the clutch visibly and thought it would be
> OK for a long time. Clutch face looked good and springs looked good. Also
> the throughout bearing. The slave cylinder was rebuilt and bled. Clutch
> disengages fine. Does anyone have a suggestion? I suspect weak clutch
> springs,but hope its something simpler to correct.
