The clutch is original as far as I know, so 84K miles on it and almost 8yrs old.

So does the lack of gas harm anything? I told her to just push the clutch as soon as it bucked. If I told her to hit the gas, she'd probably give it too much gas, and who knows what kinds of problems that might create.
