Very confusing symptom if CW.

[TURANO-]

On the website provided by the DSM newbie forum for "crankwalk", this link was provided :

1000 AAQ - Terms

Reading the symptoms I stumbled across one that read:

"Another possibility is having the engine RPM decrease significantly when the clutch pedal is down".

Is this not what is supposed to occur when the clutch is disengaged? My car does this, when the clutch pedal is down, the RPMs will drop very fast or "significantly", and I also have poor engagement problems ( I have an stage 2 clutch, pedal feels very firm/stiff)

If anyone (preferably someone with DSM backround/ experience" can help me clear this up, that would be great!

They mean significantly below your set idle. Meaning if your car idles at 800 rpm and when you push in the clutch it drops to 400 rpm.

A more noticeable symptom: CW is most noticeable during a sharp left turn, then pushing in the clutch and trying to change gears. The travel of the clutch is used up pushing the crank back into position, instead of releasing the pressure plate so you can shift.
