is it normal? but why would it happen though? the clutch is spring loaded, so as soon as the force stretching the springs (i.e. my left foot) is removed, the springs should recoil and push the pedal back up immediately. in this split second, what is the force resisting the springs? is it possible that the large torque causes some minor twisting perhaps of the input shaft of the gearbox relative to the crankshaft or whatever that causes some friction and holds the clutch momentarily? at least that's my theory.
