So I am having issues shifting my 4 speed. I have driven standards for long enough to know how to ease it into gear, but my bird is the most touchy car I have ever driven. Unless I give it the perfect clutch release, and I mean perfect, it bucks on me (starting from a stop). Is there a chance this amplified bucking can be from a problem with the clutch area? Could it be out of alignment, or warped somehow? Also I noticed that if I look under my car, I can see the flywheel and clutch. It looks like there is a plate missing to cover the bottom of the clutch housing. Am I crazy? Any thoughts would be helpful.
