Anyone else?? Not real scientific but gives us a general idea of how widespread this is.

i had the clutch pedal stick to the floor alot with the stock clutch at the track only. i put a ram in it and went back to the track made 8 passes and didnt have the problem anymore. i read that its dust in the fluid and etc , but with my car i think it was that the stock clutch was junk!

Had problem
When I first got mine the clutch was really sensitive
would engage when you didn't expect it to, stalled out many times [embarrasing] Shifting into higher gears would thump when you let it out Would shudder when cold from a standstill After about 1000 miles it seems to have fixed itself |

5000 miles on mine. So far no problems.

Already been to the dealer once, they could not "hear/feel it...so, I told them that's one, and that I would be back when it got worse. It is worse, and I am taking it back, probably tomorrow as I am sitting in the airport in Sao Paulo, Brazil headed home after 30 days down here.
I can't say for sure what it is, clutch, throw-out bearing, or the transmission. I took it to the dealer when I was home in Feb for a week, and that's when they didn't find anything wrong. before I left to come downhere, it had gotten substantially worse, I was actually hoping something would break so there was no denying it, but that didn't happen. I now, before I left for Brazil, have substantially more noise from something down there, and some vibration and associated harmonics to go along with it. It isn't the exhaust, as this has gotten progressively worse. I can feel it in the clutch pedal and it just doesn't feel right. The pedal has never stuck, and it isn't slipping. I guess it feels like something is moving in an eliptical manner rather than a smooth circle. Time will tell, and if and when I find out, maybe tomorrow or the next day, I'll post the information...
