Any ideas? I turned the idle down to maybe 700-800 and the rear wheel was still spinning. It is not doing it all the time, and other than that the GT is running OK

Not sure where to start as I am still learning the ins and outs of the autos.

None. Maybe again someday when Michelle won't worry.

I would think the springs in the clutch are getting weak letting it engage too soon.......??? maybe???? I know Michelle's LX has always done that a little but I just was never too worried about it.....it's not it was trying to pull away at idle or hard to stop because of it.

That was my thought also. I have a Malossi clutch to replace it. I will tear it down when I make the other changes.
