Hi Larry, I have seen the clutch bounce issue on standard transmission vehicles before; in my experience it's usually a warped pressure plate. Did you have the PP replaced when they did the clutch? The jerky third gear issue is probably something different; perhaps an FI issue?? Happy Trails, Greg Potts 1973/74/77/79 Westfakia "Bob The Tomato www.pottsfamily.ca www.busesofthecorn.com
