Hey guys,
When I start to drive the '74 everything drives nice and tight but, I've noticed that once the car comes up to temp, the rear wheels bounce just about everytime I start out in first year.
I thought it was me, getting used to the car and mistakenly starting out in third instead of first but now I know I'm not in 3rd gear.
Do I need a new clutch / pressure plate / throw out bearing? Or is it something else..?
Thoughts?
Mike

And 1st gear is good for 11mph?

Really just to get the car rolling ...not the wheels hopping (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer3.gif)
