This happens often. I make a sharp right, or left turn, and then I gun it about halfway through the turn. The car then totally slips on me! Like the clutch has not engaged at all. The car goes nowhere. I then release the clutch, hit it again, then the car goes strong and the clutch grabs nicely on the straightaway. But it doesn't let me gun it right out of a sharp turn!!! Oh, and no, the clutch does not stay down to the floor. What can it be? :(
 
I dont mean to scare you, but those are signs of crankwalk. Usually its more with left turns that the clutch doesnt come back up all the way...whats happening is your crank is litterally moving inside the motor, inturn messing up the enguagement point of the clutch *or something along those lines*
