recently ive had a strange issue. Ive experienced the CSC failure before on my old Z but this is a little different. I have 12k miles on the 13 and have never taken it to a track, or beat on it "yet". So i will start the problem with a question..... how little clutch engagement does your clutch peddle have normally?

The issue is, i have full normal clutch tension the whole throw to the floor, so it FEELS normal. but as your slowly letting up on the clutch it doesnt even attempt to start moving the car fwd until theres barely maybe 3/4-1 inch of travel left to completely letting off the clutch. so this is making it INSANELY difficult to start off or to drive in traffic. Am i just crazy? I dont remember it being so little. you have almost 1 foot of clutch travel to the floor but it doesnt start moving the car until just the very tip of letting off the clutch entirely.

normally i would blame the CSC, but seeing as that has the OPPOSITE symptoms....... usually the peddle sticks to the floor, or has no pressure till almost at the floor. this is the inverse, it has perfect peddle feel all the way but doesnt start moving the car until its at the top. Couldnt be a worn clutch already, what is it?
