Possible crankwalk?

[Trizon]

already got a few opinions, and I had a weird sick feeling in my stomach right when I recieved the car back. I have a 95 gst, and just had the motor rebuilt by a local machine shop. Well while my car was out of service, i started reading up a lot on crankwalk, and certain signs and what not... So now I have the car back, and noticed when i would push down on the clutch (which isnt really adjusted atm) the rpms would drop about 40 -60? -- now if the car was warm, or id have been driving for 10+ minutes, if I push the clutch in while its out of gear and deaccelerating, the car dies.. I've also noticed it accelerate slower, and believe i might have felt the clutch stick on a few left turns.. if im idling and not deaccelerating, it depends how warm it is, but itll drop about 100 - 200 rpm.. Now during all the hot weather lately, ive noticed it heat up more than it should.. possibly from friction of a walking crankshaft? -- very confusing, but maybe you could give me your opinions of what it possibly might be..

You answered your own question right here. Take it back to them and have them drive it and show them what it does. If they messed up then they will have to fix it.

ah k i just wanted to know whether it could be due to an unadjusted clutch, or any other possible problems other than crankwalk, hehe, i didnt want to accuse them of doing something wrong and everything being okay

True. It could be that the clutch fork or throwout bearing are rubbing and cause it to idle lower or stall all together. Get down thwere and have a buddy puch the clutch in while it is idling and see what is rubbing.
