Another possibility is that your clutch fork could have broken... or the little bal that goes into the end of the fork where it engages. If it isnt lubed... it can mess up. It can be a lot of things. Did you get it installed at a shop or do it yourself? If it was a shop install, you should take it back. They should fix it with no charge beacuse something is messed up.

I don't have any nitrous runs on this clutch...and I got it installed in kelowna and drove it the 1400 kms home and put on maybe 3000 kms more before it went into storage...I will check it like you said. Thank you very much for the help gentlemen

Wait... you said you were installing nitrous? Its a brand new clutch? You didnt powershift, or go flying down the road did you? All clutches have a 500 mile break in period. Their just like gears. You have to drive completely normal and baby the car for 500 city/ highway miles. If thats not it than it could be your adjustable clutch cable. Take the shield off that covers your cable where it is connected to the tranny. Pull back the fork under the shield with a prybar and adjust away. Might have slipped or broken loose. If neither of those are the cause then odds are the pressure plat, clutch, or flywheel wasnt torqued down right.
