Clutch woes
I can't seem to get my '73 4 spd into gear. The shifter works through the gears just like normal, but when I step on the gas, nothing. It won't even stall out. It was slipping pretty bad last time I drove it. Still most likely the clutch? Thanks

You want to have the linkage adjusted so the first 1" of pedal pad travel is free play. You can use a tape measure to the floor and press with your fingers to see how far it travels before it gets stiffer and harder to push down any farther without a lot of force.

Put that muncie on the floor and put a new clutch in that baby! 
Just did mine a month ago. Been driven 'er ever since

Thanks for the advice. I had already bought a new one anyways. Unproductive day though, only got so far as taking out the driveshaft. Since you've (CTZR1) already done the job, do you have any pointers or advice? I have the Chilton's and factory service manuals.
