    i got on it from first and 2nd gear and a minute or two later i was at a stop light and my pedal went straight to the floor and felt like it was going to stick there, the light was red and luckily it still engaged and i drove it easy for 1 minute and it was fine...wtf? the clutch/pres plate/throw out bearing was replaced and flywheel was resurfaced 600 miles ago. clutch was bled also(may need to be re-bled?). its the first time that has happened since ive had the new clutch and it is fine now. what can cause this?

    almost sounds like somethings leaking, and you pounding on it didnt help it, check for air, and leaks around the master and slave.

    I had a similar issue in my old GTS. but it only occured after long drives (3hours) when the engine got hot.

    i never ended up fixing the issue because it only happened a couple times, and i found if i pummped the clutch a couple time it went away.

    but i would try bleeding the clucth line again

    Look for leaks, wetness around clutch slave or master cylinder.

    thanks guys.
    also i saw little particles of something in the fluid when i took the cap off the reservoir. so i will be changing the fluid asap and re bleeding it. this doesnt seem like a major issue but im just afraid of it happening more and more
