Default Clutch Problems....

Well after getting home from FunFest 2005, which was a blast btw... i found an issue with the clutch on sunday. I drove it and it feels really loose and when i first went to drive it, the clutch was already half-way down. I dont know what happend. I've been driving it great. it has 2900 miles on it now. I will be taking it to the dealer today but was just wondering if this is an issue that anyone else has had to deal with?

This sucks....

Thanks for reading...

Yeah, the guy at the dealership drove the car and noticed an issue. I just hope it can be replaced before friday... How long did it take yours to be replaced?

Thanks
