Clean out your throttle body.

Check engine light?

im actually a slow driver when ever i dont race but every time i shift with my evo ix i can feel a slight pull./ i know im a messed up shifter and thats why im starting to think that my clutch might be ending soon. i used plus i always feather clutch when i run my car so i think i might have worn it out

Yes.. it would seem so.

But the clutch is not the problem here. The problem is your driving.

What im trying to do is prevent this from happening again. It is pointless getting a new clutch if you are just going to do the same thing to it.

How long have you been driving a stick?

EDIT: At a dealer thats about the price i would have expected. So i take it, that is not under warrenty?
