Background: I've had my car for about 3,500 miles and it's bone stock (except springs) Prior to this weekend, I haven't had any clutch issues during typical stoplight to stoplight street hooning - although I usually don't launch that hard on the street.
This weekend, at an Autocross event, while launching hard from the start, the clutch would not fully engage. On the hard 1 => 2 shift out of the start, it also suffered from massive slippage. Once underway, on course, the clutch seemed to hold fine. Even in one corner, where I had to get down into first, and quickly back into second, it seemed to hold - however i was much more subtle in application of throttle and clutch engagement.
Is the bleeder delay a possible cause of this? Maybe I'm just on the gas too hard before the clutch has had time to fully engage? I'd jump in and do the bleeder delay mod now, but don't want to touch anything if it's a potential warranty issue.
