Carol:
Do you get any clash or grinding when attempting to put car in reverse?
You might want to check a good article on clutch actuation and
adjustment first. Sounds to me like one possibility would be that your
clutch is not fully disengaging when you depress the pedal. There is an
excellent article from "My Classic Car" at:

Good luck!
