Driver Mod or what?

iv only had my evo for about 4 days now. it started when my work shift ended and i was walking to my car. got in and turned it on. waited a few mins for it to warm up. went into first gear and i gave it some gas (like around 2k) and let off the clutch some. was fine until i got to the point where at the point the clutch grabs. the car felt like it bogged and jerked forward a little (didn't stall). i was like wtf so i stopped and it tryed it again. it did the same thing, so i was thinking it had to be me and my **** driving. *note* iv owned a 95 eclipse GSX with a ACT 2100 clutch that grabbed like a inch off the floor. i only drove that car before the evo and that was the only car i drove, nothing else. so im still getting use to using my full leg on the clutch. so skip forward to this morning and it does the same thing! i even stalled and a STI passed by , so i was a little pissed. came back home from work and chilled for a bit. 2 hours later i decide to go for a little drive to get a little better. now the car is warmed up from the drive home from work. i turn out of the drive way and all of a sudden it's smooth. no jerking when i use the clutch or anything. so my question is it driver mod or do i need to wait for my tranny and such to warm up a little more? all through my little drive i did some stop and go's and it was smooth.

*off topic* my engine light came when i was driving home. could it be the pump noise coming from my car? thinking the ACD is low. why i made that topic before on which car code reader i should buy to find out why it came on :P

For a code you can go to advanced auto or some parts store im pretty sure they read codes for free for you.

Well from your post and such I read it shouldnt be that difficult for us to read. On the other hand even though we arent in English class please just take the time to paragraph you topic sentences on your complete thoughts. I would honestly get a code reader and find on what went on down there its probably something simple .

i just got my evo on thursday.

i must say coming out of a front wheel drive car, it did take a bit to get used to the awd'ness. it is a little quirky with getting going when cold. until warmed up i either need to not use second gear or double clutch and go very slowly from 1-2, but warmed up it is perfect.

couple days of practice and ive got it perfectly down, and can drive the car very smoothly. i will report back as im changing all driveline fluids tonight and it may smooth things out (fluids have 25k on them.)
