Default What does it mean when car moves at WOT with clutch depressed?

Seems like I read it in a thread, but I cannot find thread or what it means. Clutch is a Spec 3+ with less than 10k mi. I have bled the lines so I do not think it is air. Should shop have shimmed it or is there another problem? Is there a way to measure if it needs to be shimmed? TIA.

Sounds like the clutch is not fully disengaging

You can measure for a shim but the trans has to be pulled out.

I guess I am trying to find out if it is a problem, and if so, what should I do about it.

bleed the clutch first. Master could be going bad or just needs a shim .

Has this happened since the install or is it a new occurrence? If the car needed a shim and it wasn't used then this could cause your issue. However, if you are seeing this as something newly happening then you could have a weak or failing slave or master cylinder. Give me a shout and we can discuss it further.
