Ray, you may be experiencing the first signs of the dreaded vanagon
clutch bounce.  It feels like something is banging around back there.
There are as many theories on how to get rid of it as there are
list members, and most of them have not worked for me.  The only
parts I have not replaced are those associated with the clutch
linkage, meaning the fork and so on.  Arggh!
