63 Impala - Surges when entering new gear Sign In

I am restoring a 1963 Chevrolet Impala SS. The car has a 327 engine and a four speed manual transmission. The engine seems to run fine but when I first disengage the clutch in any new gear (1-4) the car surges or lurches until it seems to gain momentum in that particular gear. Once it passes this it runs or drives fine until I have to shift gears again. I suspect the problem is somehow related to the clutch but would appreciate any feedback.

Do you mean when you engage the clutch after shifting into the next gear the vehicle surges under acceleration?

Guess: Are motor mounts good? Do you have enough free-play at top of clutch pedal? Those two on my mind. FYI, not enough "freeplay" and it will slip with some load or real bad with a lot of load,
