I have noticed if my car sits for more than a day or two, the first few times I engage the clutch it slips or shudders a little. This is NOT the same as the shudder you get when not giving it enough throttle, so dont go there.. I know what that feels like, and this is different.. not that much different, but different none the less.. AND this only happens after sitting more than 24hrs and always clears up after a few clutch engagments.

I read one thread where someone was getting trans oil on the clutch.. could this cause my condition.. has anyone else experienced this?? Other ideas??

feels like it is slipping, but not yet slipping right?
it's like something grinding..

Mine does it when it's cold.

It is very similar to what many experience when not getting the RPMs up enough before engaging the clutch.. However, if I rev it up I still feel this.. kinda like a wobble. It is very light and goes away after 1-3 engagments.. like something is burning off. That's my gut feeling anyway.
