Diff problem/gearbox?

Question

I have a 1979 TE gemini i just bought and it has a 5 speed gear box (no idea how old) and when i take off in first and second, the car jumps and like lags around... until i reach higher revs and it goes normal.... its not right and can anyone please explain what could be the problem?

Answer 1

Probably the combustion, service your carburetor, check the spark plugs.

Answer 2

Ur throw out bearing or a.k.a. release bearing is not releasing al the way. get a new clutch kit and replace the whole thing. and go through the linkage on the clutch and check ur free play and adjust to manufacture specs. good luck!!
