Well I just finished typing my whole problem and then getting an error posting so this one will be shorter. When I let out my clutch in say 1st and 2nd my RPMs drop consistantly but then it seems that right before the clutch fully engages my engine bogs a little causing a little drop in the front of the car. My 94 accord also did this while my gf's 93 del sol doesnt. I thought maybe the clutch was going bad in my accord but both my cars do it and if I pop the clutch I can chirp tires so the clutch isnt slipping. Could it be a slave cyclinder or something?

I'm not sure i get your question, but when u let the clutch out in 1st of course the rpms are gonna drop, because now the engine has to move the whole car in a direction, instead of just spinning freely.

I mean the car will start to move foreward as the clutch enguages and then right before the clutch fully engages the car will stop moving foreward for a second. Its hard to explain its just right before the clutch fully engages the front of the cars will dip a little. It feels like the engine bogs a little right before full clutch engagement. I feel like the clutch is not engaging smoothly across the entire engagemnt. Its just wierd because I have two cars that do it and I cant figure out what it is.

if you drag race the car alot or do alot of clutch dumps often the clutch surface will become uneven and be a bit rough engaging, might not be your problem just a heads up....i guess...

Neither car I really know much about the clutch. The honda was bought with 92k and my sr is supposed to have a maxima clutch in it which shouldnt be that old. I guess when I get around to changing it to a Spec or ACT I will see if the problem goes away.
