5K drops should loosen it up a bit

I had trouble with smooth launches at first too. Either it got smoother or I got smoother. :&gt

My clutch was (is) very easy to engage. Isn't the hydraulic clutch supposed to be driver friendly?

Default Mine didn't

At 3800 miles it was time for a new one. Searches on older models showed problems with bad clutch master cylinders and fluid leakage on the clutch plates. We will see if my problem was an isolated incident.
