I wish I could reply to all the replies I got on this but its been
overwhelming. Everything was very helpful. It was the clutch after all
sticking to the pressure plate. It took about 10 minutes of working with it.
But after I got it out on the road and stomped on the brakes a few times
from about 6K rpm in 1st, it broke right loose. It was on there really good
this time...its happened before but never anywhere this bad. That'll teach
me to leave her alone for so long...Thanks again to everyone!
