I've had something similar to what you have described. However, mine will do it in high rev situations, doesn't matter whether I am in gear or not. I can just be sitting and give the engie a rev let's say higher than 5500 RPM and my clutch will stiffen.

It makes it really difficult to shift gears as the clutch pedal almost wants to jump back as you depress it. I've asked the question on this forum and the recommendations were to switch the clutch fluid, like GTO JUDGE recommended. I did that and it still does it.

The dealer couldn't find anything wrong and what they told me was that they couldn't duplicate the problem. In my opinion I think it's just the clutch itself, it may not be able to handle the abuse. But I am not a gear head and can be completely wrong. I am sure the more knowledgeable GTO owners can chime in with more credible opinions.
