Welcome to NICO!

Do a search...this has been discussed. It's just the way our clutch is designed.

Now I say that if your clutch pedal sticks to the floor when you try and do a high RPM take-off (say over 5k). This is normal for the OEM clutch...not sure if it's a "safety feature" or a flaw in the design. An aftermarket clutch will fix it. However, aftermarket clutches will rattle more than OEM.

Hope this helps.

LOL.. wow you been MIA??

It's totally normal. Try what Joe suggested, if your in neutral and you rev to 5kRPM and pop it and it sticks...then don't worry about it. It's a safety feature. So go tell your dealer to stop trying to rip you off and he should go back to mechanic school.
