it will stop spining a few seconds after you pull the lever

if it is still spinning then your clutch is dragging??

Have you been on something?

Once you pull the clutch lever in, it disengages the drive through the clutch, ie the pressure plate will be able to spin as long as you keep the lever pulled in!!! Just the same as sitting at the lights in gear with the clutch pulled in!! ffs

If it stops spinning a short while after initially spinning when you pulled the lever in, its the same as letting the lever out, releasing the pressure!
This must mean that there is a leak some where internally or externally!!
