clutch problems?
Recently, I felt that the car "sticks" when starting the car from a stop, meaning... the RPM will go up but the car wont move that much fast and sometimes suddenly "release" and the car will jerk a bit and catch up to the RPM... I dont know if this makes any sense. Is this the sign of a worn clutch? Thanks.

It sounds like what I get every once in while but I can feel my pedal stick. Maybe stick isn't the best word for it. I go to take my foot of the clutch pedal and it feels like it's going to grab and then nothing. After a second it release and the car jerks forward. I don't know what this is but chalked it up to a worn clutch.

Mine has been doing this just about since I bought it a year ago and about 25K miles. I don't think mine is about to go out. Does anyone else have any other ideas about this.

your clutch disc could be out of alignment, and may just need to be adjusted.
is is progressivly getting worse?
what you described is exactly what happened to the last teg i owned, it did it for about a month, then i parked it on the side of the road (for like 5 days) and had it for sale, sold it, 2 days later the clutch went out.
