i recently got a new clutch about 1 month ago (2k miles) and it dosent feel rite comming out of gear at low rpm's (2.5k-3k) but when i shift at like 3.5+ rpm's it feels much smoother comming out of gear... i brought it back to the shop and my mechanic said it feels fine.. another thing that makes it worst is if i dont have the clutch fully engaged b4 i take it out of gear.. is it normal for a new clutch to do this ? oh yea i forgot i raced my friend like 3-4 days after i got my clutch i dont know if i accidently trained my clutch to shift smoothly ar higher rpms... anyone have an answer :screwy:

ummm you cant train a clutch man, but there is a possibility you just fucked your new clutch, your supposed to drive it easy for 500 or so miles before racing or high rev shifting..just my .02 though
