Thank you all for your replies, I trully appreciate
them!!

Brady; "It seems odd to me that the car won't keep
running in gear. Or is it that you haven't tried to
keep it rolling once it has lurched with the clutch
pedal depressed?"

I have not "tried to keep it rolling once....."

As soon as it started stalling/bucking wildly, I would
turn engine off, thinking it was bad to keep on
forcing it.

Now I now better, and will push it until the clutch
breaks loose, as per the consensus on the culprit. 


Brayd; "Assuming the clutch is stuck, and a shock is
required to break it loose, would sudden braking to
lock up the wheels work better than galloping around
on and off the throttle?"

I don't know the answer to that.

Again, many thanks for taking the time to shed light
on the possible culprit.

On Sunday, my day off from work, I will put into
action the suggestions given by all of you,
particulary that of John Larson.

Brady; "Quantum Syncro Wagons are cool. Hope you get
this fixed soon!"

I think the same and that's why I'm not giving up on
it just yet. That's despite the fact that after I'm
done fixing this problem, the car will need a new
paint job thanks to hurricane Wilma last year, which
scratched up the paint and put a few dings here and
there as debris flew all over the place. 

-Best Regards,
