Oviously its the disks not fully releasing or the pilot bearing is going out. Put the car on a lift and look in the bellhousing while its running. Have someone cycle the clutch and put it in and out of gear. If the disks don't stop turning when you mash in the pedal, most likely the pilot is bad. Either way looks like your gonna be pulling the tranny. You might try cranking the car in gear and slipping the clutch a little. My tractor will do this same thing as well when it sets out in the weather. A little film of rust forms on the disk and flywheel surface and I have to slip it a little bit to wear it off.

Hey guys just wanted to update everyone. I took the trans out last night and it turns out that the trans side disc was stuck on the main shaft causing the gears not to engage when at idle. The disc was sitting flush on the teeth of the main shaft. Ive used nothing but twin disc in all of my cars and this is the first time ive ever had a problem. Competition just lost a customer since im disappointed with their hydraulic setup and how it could've cost me a new trans if the teeth on the main shaft stripped off.
