Jeff,
My 75 B acts the same way. The clutch starts engaging almost as soon as
you release the pedal. I tried bleeding the slave cylinder but that
didn't make any difference. So I have been assuming it was the throwout
bearing going and figured I would replace it when I could no longer shift
the transmission.
Then a new problem. Brake fluid leaking out of the clutch master
cylinder on my foot. So a new master cylinder is on the schedule.
Hopefully this will cure both problems.
