as the title says, when im stationary, when the car is cold (no issues when engine is warm) when the clutch is out not in gear, the idle is fine, but when i clutch in and engage first, while stile staying stationary, the revs drop about 50-100 rpm, what causes this? and its weird how it doesnt do this when the engine is warm.

any ideas?

At the top of the clutch pedal there is a small pushrod that gets pushed into the master cylinder. This rod can be adjusted as clutches wear out etc. Have a look at this push rod. U will need a light to see it. Then with ur hand see how much freeplay(travel without touching the mastercylinder) there is. If there is a bit, adjust the pushrod so it moves towards the master to remove most of the freeplay. Make sure there is still a tiny bit of freeplay or ur clutch will slip.

Doing this will act as if u are pushing the clutch pedal further. Which inturn disengages the clutch more and should fix the creeping issue u have
