clutch go bye bye already?...PLZ help

hey all, i have a '03 max with around 9K miles on it. here are the issues that i've been having with my clutch...

1. seems really hard to make a good transitional shift.

2. the car rolls when it's in gear and the cars off. as if to park it, but then it rolls sometimes.

ya i know that i can just bring this into the dealership, but man i hate losing my car for a day or even more. is this something to be concerned about or am i just a bad driver. tia...

Either you're a bad driver or your clutch is defective. I would take it in to the dealer. What do you mean "rolls when parked", it rolls a couple a inches when you let off the brake, or rolls indefinitely?

Sounds more like a transmission problem. When your clutch wears out and dies the car will rev without accellerating. You hit the gas, but the car doesn't take off like it should cause the clutch is slipping.
