sounds like an adjustment problem ,the symptoms discribed are what happens when the clutch won't disengage properly

have you replaced the origanal self adjusting quatrant under the dash ,if not then thats the problem ,even with a firewall adjuster the quatrant will set the clutch to the adjustment it wants ,when they get old they were out and will set themselves improperly ,they won't disengage the clutch properly ....you get the same symptoms

only other thing i can think of is if your fire wall adjuster doesnt have the adjustment range to set it properly
