Thanks for the quick responses. FYI, I have been using the car leasurely. The car has not sat unused recently. In fact, the clutch has allowed gear changes easily when I operated it with care. The problem is that motor car often races when under load, going up hills and sometimes when starting from stop when I give it too much gas. I was not grinding synchros.
