Default clutch sticking when lost traction

A few times I accelerated as hard as i can from 0 mph. ofc, the rear wheels lost traction and they were spiinning while the car wasn't even going much. While the car lost traction, the clutch pedal sticked to disengaging point and neva comes up until the car finally finds traction. Is this normal?
What if I was drifting and the car was going sideway? Is it normal for the clutch to stay stuck?
When driving normally, the clutch feels fine and never sticks..

It's a common problem. Mine does it and I know alot of people that have the issue. I don't know the fix but if you searched I'm quite sure the fix has been posted. I need to do some research myself because I won't take my car to the track anymore since my rear tire hooks so good my clutch now only engages half way on a hard launch so its roasting my clutch very fast.

Found this. Apparently all you have to do is drain and flush the clutch fluid and add some SS lines. I'm going to try this weekend and see what it does.

Well you're supposed to replace your clutch fluid every 25k miles so it shouldn't happen.

i got my car recently and they changed the fluid i think. It's clean but looks gummy. Anyways, i ordered my SS clutch line. Now i'm looking for installation other than FSM
