Reverser or transmission/engine clutch?

[mblair441]

In first or second gear my 350B seems to push and work fine, both forward and reverse. In third gear under no load it takes a second to start moving when I push the power reverser forward. I don’t have much need for 4th gear, but when I put it in gear, and push the reverser lever forward, nothing happens for about 5 seconds, then it starts to move, but slowly. After a few feet of movement the engine lugs down and starts to stall. RPM’s are there but no power. Although it shifts into gears without grinding, the clutch pedal seems to have too much travel. Is the problem in the engine clutch, power reverser, an adjustment issue or someplace else? Or is it that I just don’t know how to drive?
