I have noticed another thing over the past few days; if I let the clutch out with the car idling, as in not touching the throttle at all, revs will sometimes soar to 1200 rpm, at other times they will drop to just under 800 rpm. This is with the same, slow and smooth clutch engagement. Then, which I have noticed since I got it, the revs can (if a little low) climb back to 950 rpm smoothly or abruptly. Abruptly is annoying. Also, if revs are high (above 950 rpm) they will drop either smoothly or abruptly to engaged idle speed of 950 rpm.
