man, its hard to say... if its not slipping, it's hard to say the clutch is bad...

again, just to confirm, this does it only when the car is completely in gear, foot off clutch?

it happens in between shifts and while in gear completely.. in between shifts.. i let of the clutch... has to be almost completely out before it engages.. with a thud noise.. and.. while in gear completely foot off the clutch pedal.. i give a little gas then it shakes... then it'll start moving smoothly.. also i have to rev pretty high.. for it to drive smoothly and shift smoothly.. during gear changes.. while in neutral.. reving.. the car revs fine..

gunar.. if you're not too far away .. maybe i can come have you check it out.. if you're not busy also..

As car as clutches, mine went out a week after I got the car, and Black_SC has been through like 15 stock clutches in a year and a half or whatever.

hush you.

Go with a Centerforce Dual Friction clutch. I will never use anything else. Feels like stock, grabs great, can handle a decent amount of horsepower(400rwhp++), and it is fairly cheap.
