Is this normal oil consumption?

For my engines, around 4-5k miles. The first couple thousand miles its the most apparent. After that, it slows down and should even out.

About 600 miles on the new motor now and everything seems okay. No oil loss on the dipstick yet and trying my best to keep the revs under 4,000 RPM. The first oil change is in two weeks...I'll report back then.

I was driving home from work yesterday and the clutch pedal kept sticking on me. When I would depress the clutch pedal and release, it would come back up halfway and then get stuck for a second and pop up. I drove straight to the dealer where a tech diagnosed the problem as a bad slave cylinder. They wanted to keep the car overnight so that the guy who put my new engine in could look at it also. They are still testing it out as we speak. I was told that my clutch was in great shape when the new engine was put in.

So what could be the problem?

1. air in the system? bad fluid? (34k on the clock)
2. bad slave cylinder?
3. bad master clutch cylinder?
4. bad clutch pressure plate?

I hope this is covered under warranty.

Sigh. This car is starting to depress me.

There's tons of thread on this. Like the other poster said, could be air, bad slave, bad master or cooked fluid (needing a flush).
