Pulled the car out of the garage last night and drove 10 minutes away to the store. After 20 minutes in the store, I came back out to start the Viper and noticed about 1 1/2 inches of play in the clutch pedal before I could feel it disengage. As I put the car in reverse and started to let the clutch out, the clutch grabbed immediately with no slippage. I don't normally feel that until I've released the pedal at least 1/3 of the way. As I came to the next stop light, the play increased to about 3 inches before disengagement. The clutch was feeling very light, and the shifting was a bit ratchety.
After about 5 minutes of driving, the shifting returned to normal and the clutch was feeling like it normally does. This morning, the clutch felt fine when leaving home, but the same symptoms returned when I stopped to get gas. ***?
I checked the clutch fluid resevoir, and it was full. Last fall (about 4000 miles ago) I had everything clutch-related replaced which included a kevlar clutch, aluminum flywheel, throwout bearing, both hydraulic cylinders, etc. Anyone have ideas? I'm tempted to just take it to Roanoke, but I would like to at least have some clue as to what's going on here.
