When was the last time you greased your clutch fork and slave cylinder plunger? if you allow those to become dry the results can be very similar to what your experiencing.

update:

i replaced the clutch master and slave cylinder. I was getting clutch chatter that started when i originally posted this.


friday (06/11/10) I called competition clutch to ask what they thought i should do.
I was told to: "Drive your car very hard. We believe there is a glaze on the clutch. The heat should burn it off. If this does not fix the issue, we will take further action and replace the clutch kit."

I drove the car "very hard", after merging onto the highway Sunday (06/13/10) the clutch gave out completely. When i gave it gas in gear my rpms just shot up. Competition clutch opens at 10am today, I will be calling them when they open to see what course of action we're taking.

competition clutch had my car in a local shop, JE Import Performance. I picked the car up last Friday and the clutch was deemed a "defect from the factory". Therefore, the labor and clutch were free to me. Competition clutch paid for everything.

I dealt with Jen, should anyone ever have problems with a competition clutch i recommend talking to her. She was able to take care of me!
