You might want to change you manual tranny oil if it is still the original. And driving it more would help, any car with that low of miles will give you issues like that, both of my cars are real low mileage cars, and I have had to just drive them to get all the "bugs" worked over. Even though all major systems have been replaced, it still needs driven to make it more reliable. The more I drive them, the better they perform. So best advice is to start driving it, I was keeping my cars ridiculously clean, and low mileage, then last year I realized, I can't eat my car to live, & I can't take it with me if I die, so I might as well start enjoying them. It has been the best decision I have made. My 83 now has 3,000 miles on it, and I just turned 10,000 on my 81. Almost have all the bugs worked out, and they just about run perfect now. I still keep them crazily clean & perfect, just now I'm not so afraid to actually drive them, and they run so much better with use. As of all the cars I have owned, these cars suffer from "underuse" more easily than others. Guess I'm just saying driving it is the best way to make it work better in all areas. I remember when you got your car with like 93 miles on it, since your only at 300, keep on driving it. Let us know how it is running once you pass the 1,500 mile mark, bet you'll notice a huge difference. Later, Have fun driving, you only live once!
