Clutch Oddity: Pedal drops to the floor while cruising on the freeway...
Brand new Exedy kit on my S5 T2 with maybe 300 miles on it.
No leaks and functions just fine while cruising around town. No slipping under hard acceleration and it never acts funny. Sometimes makes a whirring sound when at idle.
When I get on the freeway everything is fine until I reach the on ramp and the clutch drops to the floor. i put my toe under it and pop it back up then press it couple times to get pressure.
Anyone know why this would happen?

I noticed after a few more runs it only does it at high speed and makes like a rattling/bubbling sound. around 4K I think that is 80 (my speedo doesn't work)
I'm wondering if the transmission isn't seated all the way to the engine.
