I just got my 81 911SC a few weeks ago. I am having a very hard time driving it. The clutch engages pretty much all at once without much warning. I kill it out of 1st gear about once out of every 10 tries. I think part of the problem is the clutch pedal doesn't come up smoothly. It feels like it is rubbing somewhere down inside. So it comes up more in spurts than a fluid motion. That makes is more luck than anything else for a smooth start.

I took it to a local shop that has worked on this particular car for years (for the previous owner). They are telling me it's normal. If this is normal I'm selling this car, I just get angry and stressed every time I drive it. It's either I kill it trying to be smooth, or I damn near rear end the car in front of me when the light turns green.
