my car moves a little too. its set a little to like high or up or something. im dumb. but i do know that clutches can be adjusted wrong. in my old hand me down accord, i used to have the opposite problem, the clutch wouldnt fully engage. but in my new(not really) 91 prelude, the clutch does what you said. take it to a mechanic if you dont kow how to adjust it your self.

tell me if this works

one of the forks on the pressure plate could be bent, or the springs on the disk could be getting stuck or rubbing on something.

friend of mine had the same problem, except his car moved at 3000 rpms he had to double clutch all the way home, turned out to be a fucked up pressure plate.

I had the same issues as you right when I installed the unit. I hate to say this, but I had a bad pressure plate from ACT. When I pulled the pressure plate you could see some the fingers were down a little.

While a fubar'd PP could do this, it reminded me of a problem older mustangs had.

When they would build up their motors, revving it high would make the clutch engage and not disengage; something about the vacuum or the centrifigal force. I just remembered hearing about that not too long ago...........haha

Call or email ACT, see what they would like you to do.

Won't disengage at 7000rpm??.. I could be wrong but, if you pull the tranny out, you're bound to see what's wrong..

couldn't figure out the problem for almost two years, tried everything... finally the crankshaft broke, so my clutch problem was because my crankshaft was cracked all along...
