Default Strange thing happend... problem?

Had something happen, which it did before, just not anywhere as severe. Went for a spirited run, 2nd gear 2500 to 6500 WOT, everything fine. Came to a stop and then when I went to pull out, I had no real control over the clutch. It was either fully engaged or not. It was like slowly letting the clutch out and all of a sudden, it just grabbed like I dumped it. Push it back in, try again, and go to pull out easy, bam... same thing.

Drive for a little while and the problems gone.

Any info?

What kind of clutch?

My cartek does that sometimes after it see's some heat from a track run.
I'm guessing between the burnout and the launch, the heat generated causes the pucks to really grab and not allow me to slip it.

Should have put it in my original post. Stock clutch setup including all related parts. Also, there is no slippage that I can tell.

The clutch is probably starting to slip a little...would be my guess.
