I am looking for a little advice on a new mopar I purchased for a family project. The car is a 71 h code 340 4 speed. It is a factory 4 speed car. The bellhop sing is a lakeland but I am still figuring out what type clutch and stuff. So here's the problem:
I start the car and go for a ride and the clutch pedal is nice and smooth all the way up and down for travel. Once I drive the car for 30 minutes or so, the pedal pushes down slighly harder but when I release the clutch it is anybut smooth. I have driven a clutch for 20 years but look like an idiot the way it lurches of a dead stop. No matter what it still travels up and down, but after driving for a while it starts to bind almost, mainly close to the engagement point. I am kind of leaning towatds the throw out bearing but there dies not seem to be any weird noises. If anyone has any ideas where to start it is greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Frank
