hi all -

I've been having a little trouble with my clutch lately:  occasionally, it
seems that the clutch does not engage fuly when the pedal is depressed, and
I get a grind when trying to slip it into 1st or reverse.  If i play with
it for a while, going forward a bit in 2nd, engaging and disengaging the
clutch, etc., the problem often goes away and shifts are smooth.  Also, if
i just drive for a while, it often doesn't happen at the next opportunity.

The car is a stock '73 midget.  I replaced the clutch last summer, and this
problem has been happening all along, but more often lately.  Any ideas?

Thanks,
Dustin Howarth
