So this weekend I got on my Car pretty hard with another forum member here. Is it common with new cars for the clutch to feel firm at first and then loosen up. By loosen up, I mean, drastically loosen up. Feels WAY softer now then before I went on that trip.

Drove many clutches before but never a brand new clutch.

Another question I have is when I depress the clutch I sometimes here a flappy sound, like the clutch shaking or something? Not like the whole car or anything, just the clutch internals kinda making a wierd sound. Seems to happen more up and down hill than on a flat surface, but on occasion is happens on a flat surface.

Any help would be appreciatted. Sorry I'm not a car expert :P
