thought i'd run this by you guys, i've gotten a few opinions as to why this is happening, could use a few more before i attempt to figure it out:

i have a brand new 2600 clutch setup, fidanza flywheel, throw out bearing etc, on a stock tranny...1500miles on everything so far, clutch was bled back when i first started driving the car, maybe 3-4 launches in there, 6bolt motor (anything else you need to know about my setup is probably on my site)

the otehr day my clutch began to grab really low, sometimes it comes up off the floor slowly then kinda jumps up and smacks the bottom of my foot, feels kinda wierd, i adjusted it and it seemed fine, now at idle when i push the clutch in the rpm's die down and sometimes the car stalls

a few people said it could be the throw out bearing and that they can fail at anytime new or old, one person mentioned that the flywheel could still be touching the pressure plate in some spots as it spins

any ideas out there? my clutch fuild is not low either
 
maybe your car is taking your name too seriously? :p just a thought, but it isn't something you should ignore
 
yea thats the last thing in my head right now haha 6bolt motor with less then 1500miles i doubt it, but who knows, i've gotten a bunch of ideas from people as to what it can be, so i'll check those out first
 
that's just the first thing that always pops into my head when someone says something about a clutch sticking or rpms dropping off with the clutch... i'm pullin' for ya, we're all in this together :D
