CW or just clutch problems

So I'v heard of the horrors of CW and maybe I'm just paranoid, but I'v had a ton of problems with my talon I just got.

I'v had to replace a 1 month old ACT 2100 clutch, and put a new one in and this one is still having problems. For a long time the friction point (I think thats what its called..the shifting point on the clutch) would change on the clutch. If I just started the car it would be fine and towards the bottom, but when I turned the car off and then back on again later it would rise all the way to the top and it would start slipping. Recently, it did it again but then the clutch got stuck to the floor and I had to drive like 3 miles in 1st gear to get home. I noitced the clutch fluid was empty and there was a puddle under the car. I'v had the clutch fluid line repaired twice already and I can't believe it would break a third time in under 2 months!

I know that the clutch point changing, and slipping clutch, and clutch pedal to the floor are some signs of CW. If I ever get the car running again I'll check for the RPM's dying when I push the clutch in and for that ticking sound. So do yall think I have anything to worry about as far as CW or am I just running into lowsy mechanics that can't get my clutch working right?

you wont hear a thing if you have CW... the major indicator is the clutch sticks to the floor on left turns... right turns it doesnt affect it! another thing... how are you breaking in the clutch? when you get it replaced you cant just go out and drive it normally again! usually it takes a 3-500 mile break in period before any launching, fast accelleration or anything or anything that causes the clutch to slip! after that break in period you are suppose to slip the clutch then your fine to drive normal again! as for the lines, i think you might have had an air bubble in your like causing it to break and for the clutch pedal to the floor, my guess is the seal didnt sit right on the master cylinder causing your clutch to unexpectingly just drop to the floor! from what you explained to me you have a very slim chance that its CW... and about the clutch goin bad... find and read the break in process for it. if its the same as the 2600 then its what i explained earlier!
