I just assumed the clutch was naturally draggy. Is this definately something new for your clutch, or could it be just that you are paying more attention now that you are getting ready to do the swap?
I've never tested it before, I just assumed that w/ the pedal on the floor, I should have no clutch drag.

It's not like it's a huge deal. During normal shifting I either don't use the clutch at all or only just enough to release the gears. I was just concerned that this might be a symptom of a larger issue, and perhaps have something to do with my ever-stiffening clutch pedal.
