I changed the throw out bearing because I thought it was getting stuck on the retainer cover (which ended up not even being that worn) but my bearing was pretty whooped so I made the change. Whenever it does this I pop the clutch in 1st while the car was rolling I managed to get it started.

Any idea? I might just post in another forum bc I feel this is a deeper issue.
Respect for bump starting old school. Not starting is a separate issue. I dunno. You could just edit the thread title. There are, like, 20 people who get into troubleshooting topics here. All the right folks will see this.

Does the starter motor even click when it quits working? Ever try tapping it? Worn motor brushes show up as dead spots in the motor's arcs of rotation. For a while, tapping the motor can get them to make contact enough to start.
