Default Clutch problem???

Yesterday at IDRC I noticed when I would stage and bring my revs up to about 7k my car would start pulling forward. I have a clutch masters stage 4 clutch with about 200+ passes on it with 24.5x8x13 slicks. Is this a sign that the clutch is starting to go bad or could I have some how gotten air in my line or could the slave cylinder being on its way out.

I think I know the answer but I just want to be sure.

Thanks

its more of a sign that your clutch isnt fully disengaging with the clutch pushed in... you can try to adjust the push rod connected to your pedal or bleed the air in the lines if there is any...

Its nothing all of a sudden, just over time some cars need to have the clutch adjusted. almost like a maintenance thing. i wouldnt be too concerned.

Okay so first bleed the line then if that does not work then try adjusting the clutch pedal. This is a hydro tranny btw.
