Just drove my "new to me" 73 500 miles down the coast from San Rafael to Los Angeles, this car has 19050 original miles, well now 19588. There sis no record of the clutch ever being well anything, this is most likely the 1973 clutch. Does that material go bad over time ? Dry out ? I believe this is the longest trip this car has been driven since 2016. Around San Simeon depressing the clutch produced an odd sound, not a squeal, not a grind ? Throw Out Bering ? Old Clutch material ? Any Thoughts ? As long a I didn't touch the clutch, the more I drove her the better she ran, like a Swiss Watch ! or German watch (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

If your clutch is making a weird noise, it might need to be replaced. If it really and truly is an original low mileage car it still has a rubber hub clutch, that's probably going south.
