nooo, that never happens ...

could be a few things:

- clutch not adjusted right
- clutch tube has broken lose in the center tunnel or on the rear firewall
- pedal cluster bushings are worn
- your tranny is out of oil (i'm sure you noticed by now that they all leak!)
- sliders are worn

i'm sure there are a few more reasons i forgot to mention, but those are a good starting point and will keep you busy for a while ...
