Ron -
On the clutch issue: Are you saying that saying the first time you
push the clutch pedal in, the pedal moves with about the resistance
you would expect, and the clutch does disengage? Then the next time
you push the pedal down there's no resistance? Does the the clutch
re-engage at all in between?
I wonder if you might have a bad clutch hose, or a pinched steel
hydraulic line. A rubber hose can rot and swell internally, meaning
that the fluid releases very slowly from the slave cylinder after the
pedal is pushed down. A pinched line can have a similar effect.
HTH,
Dan

New floors, new body rails, and solid patches where once there was
solid rust.
Thanks, Chuck!
