[FC] Clutch c-h-a-t-t-e-r

[Ben and Lynn Stiles]

Driving as Bob suggested releasing the clutch the whole way has helped a 
bit...but last night I got it on a good hill and rode the clutch until 
it was good and stinky warm. Seems to be shaping up a bit.

Thanks for all of the ideas on this as always-

Ben
