Hello, Yesterday, I experienced a bad case of clutch drag. Enough to make the car creep in 4th gear and to require starting the car in gear to drive it. This happened at start up at about 75 degrees F. The problem persisted for 20 minutes of driving but went away 2 blocks from home. I let the car cool a few hours and then test drove it again. I couldn't reproduce the problem, but then it suddenly came back just as I was about to give up. After two shifts, the problem was gone again. I couldn't get it back again, so I gave up. This morning I drove to work, 20 minutes, without any problem. There is no change to the clutch feel and the "real" friction point stays where it should be even when the clutch is dragging. What's going on? Thanks, Mike Phoenix, AZ
