Angry Clutch stuck AGAIN today!!

My '06 has almost 2,000 miles on it now and I have 2-1/2 issues with the clutch.

All this time I have been fearing tranny grinds and the tranny is fine but it's the clutch that is giving me probs.


1. Somewhere around the 1,000 mile mark I noticed that the clutch sometimes clicks once when I start to initially depress it. Sometimes it may do it several times in a row and other times in may not do it at all several times in a row.

2. Twice now (today and once last week) I have had the clutch stick in the halfway returned position, when upshifting. The first time it happend I was hauling a$$ down the freeway at about 80 or so and after I upshifted, the pedal stuck after I released at the midway point for about 1-1.5 seconds, which was just enough time to smoke something (clutch) because it smelled like $hit, as the RPM's went high.

2-1/2. Also need to adjust that damn engagement point.


I have seen a couple of threads on the clutch sticking but would like to hear others peoples dealings with it, if they had this happen.

I will bring all issues up when I bring it in for it's first service.

While I went out drifting last weekend my clutch also got stuck around the halfway point. I lost my drift so I spun out. At first I thought I completely burned out my clutch because my car wouldn't move. I just stomped on my pedal a few times and everything is back to normal.

Are you going to have it looked at or does that not bother you that it stuck?

Probably.

But hey at least they threw in some nifty aluminium interior trim pieces for the '06's
