Well the problem was/is with the clutch/tranny itself. I've been to the dealer probably 20 times (they've already replaced the clutch/pressure plate/flywheel once due to defect) under warranty, and its still giving me problems. The Haynes manual says the pedal should be 6.5in from the floor, but its about 5.75in on mine. I don't know if this is a significant amount. My pedal also has A LOT of play in it (atleast a full inch).
