Hi there, I have just put a new rear end in after thrashing my old one over 
some simple loose nuts = / live and learn. before the rear end let go, I was 
having trouble with the clutch on the release/upward motion of the pedal. It 
would hit what felt like sticky spots, and it would force the clutch to pop in 
a typical new driver fashion... I thought it may have something to do with the 
rear end after it broke, and decided not to worry till I got the new rear end 
in... and of course... it's still happening. Many have thought it was a 
sticking clutch plate, but I've been told that behaves differently... My 
problem is fine until the car warms up and then it acts up... the clutch pedal 
even will ocassionally freeze in the upright position, though i haven't had 
that since the new rear end, however admitably have not driven it enough to 
find out. Any Ideas here? I need as much feedback as possible since I'm trying 
to get this car over the mountains in the next few days, and would lo
 ve to do it with out the extra worry.

 thanks as always, Todd the quickly learning his car from front to back, and 
everything inbetween guy ;)
