stiff clutch during racing

For the last 2 weeks whenever i accelerate rapidly through 3-4 gears(ex. 1,2,3,4 my clutch pedal gets stiff during/immediately after the acceleration . It wont go into gear so I will have to press the clutch pedal about 3 times to get it to go into gear. But it goes away a few minutes later.

Everyday slow driving is fine and the clutch doesnt slip at all.


What could be the problem and could it be covered under powertrain warranty.

Go tell the dealer that you're RACING and want them to fix it under warranty. They'll have no further inquiries.

No I would say "when accelerating at a quick pace the clutch gets stiff going into 3rd gear"



My friend said it might be the pressure plate or throw out bearing and is probable considered a wear and tear item.
