Your clutch may not be fully releasing when you hold it to the floor.
1. Is your clutch release arm starting to fail.? Inspect for cracks. Common problem.
2. Clutch arm yoke/trunion nut out of adjustment? May need to be adjusted shorter. Connects clutch pedal to clutch arm at the side of bell housing. You only need about 1" of pedal free play.
