Default clutch problem

i bought a ram hdx clutch and having the problem of my clutch disengaging and engaging very quickly when not giving it gas, making my car jump badly. wondering i installed it wrong or if the throwout bearing is messed up.
it came with a new pressure plate and throwout bearing.

If your not touching the gas generally you need to have the clutch pedal pressed. Sounds like your just runnin to low rpm.

Do you mean your car is "bucking" in 1st gear, say when you idling along in a parking lot?

Me too, it sounds like he's expecting to just let off the gas and slow down to a speed he needs a lower gear, without pressing the clutch.
