Default Clucth Problem

OK like the title says, when i race my car and get in the high rpm i get a lot of feedback from my clucth pedal. Yesyerday I was playing around with a little Neon srt4 and my pedal stuck almost all the to the floor. I was still able to push it down alittle bit but it don't work the way it should have. This slowly strat to show itself last year. Could it be iam over powering it or the fuild(it don't look that great to me). At this point i don't have a clue. My car only has 37000 miles on it. Just start racing it last year. HELLLLP

Many have this problem (do a search on sticking clutch). First thing to do is find the "Ranger Method" of flushing out the fluid, see if that helps. If that doesn't fix the problem, you may be facing a new clutch or stop racing. Unfortunately, this is a pretty common problem with the stock clutch.
