Hi reved47, Ok this is actually the first time I am giving aa comment rather than asking for help. I am a newbie to this whole SB thing and luvin it. I bought a 58 3600 last fall and was having the same problem. I came to the forum and got several answers. I think it boiled down to a couple of things. a) I just wasnt good at driving a clutch b) oil on the clutch plate. As I drove it, I guess the oil would burn off and I starting lowering my rpms. both helped. One fellow said to take off in third a the first time and that will help burn off the oil as well. The combination of all this advise has helped me. Good luck
