Like the title says I have an annoying clutch/tranny problem.

heres the facts;
-sometimes when comeing to a stop at a light, the clutch petal is depressed, I will come to a stop and the car will be in gear. the clutch will still be engaging on the flywheel, just a little makes the sound of a worn throwout bearing sort of and pulls the car forward. Ony way to stop this is to yank the car out of gear.

- sometimes I will come to a stop and all will be fine, I will be sitting there with the clutch depressed and car in gear then all of a sudden it will grap and pull the car.

- I can hold the brake to keep the car from moving, and only 2 times in the last few month has the car died from clutch grabbing too much and stalling the motor. most of time rpms will drop to 4-500rpm.

- I have to yank on the shifter to get it out of gear, or I have to rev the car to about 2400rpm and then it will release. and the shifter is freee and the car is no longer pulling.

Setup:
-4 month old -MC did this before so i figred it was the master since old one leaked a little.
-stinless clutch line
-Slave is in good workin condition, no leakes, push clutch pedal it fully extends
-I dont lose anyfluid so i do not have any leaks.

equipment
-spec stage 2 clutch installed with sr swap
car ran fine for 2 years with the clutch, now in last 5 month or so it has been acting like this, this doesnt happen alll the time but frequently close to 60-70% of time now. before was sparingly.

what could be the problem guys?
I dont want to pay for a tranny shop to fix this as they are expensive. I want to fix this asap as it is annoying.
