The engine starts and idles fine and I was able to put it in gear and move the car forward out of the parking space for the tow guy, but she (the 343) wouldn't do much more. After getting home, I tried jockeying it around but she started vibrating a bit when in gear, but couldn't move forward as it is on a slight incline. I have noticed that the bucking seemed to always manifest itself when going up an incline. This time, I did get a very slight burnt clutch smell. I had also got this smell a bit stronger about 2-3 weeks ago, before the my clutch cable broke (the two I'm sure are unrelated). Have you heard of anything like this? Clutch no good? Pressure plate??


It has been sitting for a few days, so I thought I'd start her up to keep the battery charged. She started right up, but there was a vibrating and a slight GRRR sound. When I depressed the clutch pedal, the vibration and sound ceased. I did put her into first gear and she moved forward a bit. I also popped the hood (bonnet) and reached down and moved the release arm by hand in the proper direction, towards the front and the rear of the car. I was also able to move it up and down, I don't remember being able to do that when I changed the clutch cable. Has anyone had this sort of experience? How would one diagnose this?
Maybe I can convert her to a vario.

Any help and comments will be most appreciated.
