So I'm getting on the interstate, I speed shift for the first time in this car shifting at 5500. I hit it into 2nd and its grabbing awesome, then I'm into third and the clutch is slipping like a Mother Father! I push down on the clutch pedal and its FAR from hitting the floor. This also happened to my Eclipse!

I can wiggle the pedal on the Eclipse and it pops back to normal but the Talons clutch pedal is really stiff so I had to drive home with the clutch slipping like mad and the pedal almost useless cause it just wont go down far at all!!

Anybody know what the hell is going on?

Thanks!
 
Update on the clutch...

I found out that if I release the pressure in the line by unscrewing the nipple on the SCC then the pedal goes back to normal for awhile. Until I punch the clutch again a few times. Sometimes it will do it, sometimes it wont though.
