Default Strange clutch behavior?

Sometimes it bites hard et the end of pedal travel, sometimes it engages smoothly right from the floor. Very hard to drive because you never know when will it happen.

What is it?

Maybe you broke a spring in the clutch disc.

Yes. Other than that everything seems to be normal. Althogh I didn't try to give it full power at high speed to see if it is slipping.

mine does the exact same thing. Im on my second factory clutch. I now have 45,000 miles.

Sometimes my pedal wants to stick at the bottom in stop and go traffic. During normal driving sometimes the clutch engages once you start to release the clutch pedal....

Sometimes the clutch doesnt engage until the pedal is almost all the way out. Very inconsistant.

Thats why im buying an aftermarket clutch next week....That and also the fact my clutch slips VERY badly.
