I get the same problem with my MY99 STI-V, am sure its a cold scooby thing, but I stand corrected if it isnt! - not much help really!

Perfectly normal on most scoobs. Use higher revs fer the first few standing starts...

I asked the same Q the other week about my UKMY98.

Apparently it is normal.

Mine also goes away after a short time from cold.

standard for all scoobs for the first 5-10mins of driving i think...

i think its due to the materials in the clutch being cold (e.g. car not been used for a few hours), after 5-10mins of driving it should be ok when its all warmed up again... I guess if it still does it after 15mins+ then its might be worth getting the dealer to check it out... otherwise this happens on all the scoob's i've seen...

My99 had it for ages - complained to dealer and it was replaced (35000 miles under its belt) under warranty. Still sems ok 2000 miles later

Hi donaldm

I've got a P1 with exactly the same problem. Mines only done about 7500 miles. I was going to mention it next time it goes in for a service. Let me know if you get a solution

[Edited for solution]

By the way, some people say that if you do a few really fast standing starts it will clear it for a while. It's supposed to be a build up of crap on the flywheel or something like that. Go on, burn that clutch!
