     Do I need a new clutch for my 73 TR6 ? 
     
     After driving 20-30 miles it seems as if the car just keeps on going 
     when I take to foot off the gas pedal - the usual brake effect from 
     the engine is missing. This is most noticeable in the 4th gear or when 
     I turn off the overdrive, but it also happens, when I go from the 4th 
     gear to the third gear. Accelerating is still fine. There is no 
     hesitation when I step on the gas pedal. There is no problems, when 
     the car is cold.
     
     If my assumption regarding a new clutch is correct, how much should I 
     expect to pay to have it fixed in the Palo Alto area in California, 
     and can anybody recommend a good clutch specialist.    
     
     Help please.
