I've heard that with an aftermarket clutch, it is normal for it to sometimes drop to the floor and has to be pulled up. I was letting my friedn drive and it happened to him, it was when making a right hand turn/going straight.

Mine only did that when the clutch went out. I would check your fluid and make sure it is full. I haven't heard of the aftermarket clutch idea though.

It's not the clutch unless it's completely crapped out. Sounds more like a bad master cylinder or possibly the slave cylinder.

It's a new clutch and I don't have my SS line in, it's has only done this once, I was just curious to whether or not this is normal to happen every once in a while.

Rebleed your master cylinder and all should be good.

Did you get the little locating sleeves back in the tranny? Is the tranny loose at all? They can both do that, don't ask me how I know!!
