Re: possible clutch problem?

Well it's been a while but I wanted to do an update on this.
So the new clutch helped for a while but it's pretty much gone back to how it was with the old clutch maybe even worse I don't really know it's been so long.

Truck still shudders/clunks when I hit the clutch under load (mostly noticed when backing out of or pulling forward in a parking space)
(I think this is slowly getting worse over time)

Truck does not take off smoothly (shudders)
Strangely it seems to take off smoother in 2nd gear????
All shifting is semi ruff sometimes not to bad other times bad.(if I work the clutch just right it's not to bad but it seems to me it should not be so sensitive)
I think 1st to 2nd & 2nd to 3rd are the worst.

I'm begging to wonder if I have an engine/lack of power problem that is playing a part in this but not really sure.

BTW I have checked the u joints and they seem to be fine.
And there is no noticeable vibration while driving.

As soon as I get my 76 c10 on the road (witch could be a while) I'm going to park this thing and tare into it.
Untill then however I'm going to be driving it till it blows up I guess!

If anyone has any thoughts please comment.
