Yup,clutch drag pretty much assured.
Hopefully it's just a matter of adjustment but it could be a tired pressure plate as in time for a new clutch.

I know something is warped because when I take off and the clutch engages, the car vibrates. BADLY. Unless it's roasting the tires taking off fast Which happens alot lol. So I'm thinking the flywheel is warped. Ideas?

More than likely you have a pressure plate that is going bad (the diaphram weakens and warps causing shuddering) or the master or slave are going bad and not able to hold the pressure properly. Both things will cause the problem. Also shuddering can be caused by broken springs in the clutch plate itself. Those can break from poor quality, or excessive torque (ie baking the tires off). When those little springs break the clutch plate cant accept the torque like it should and things go bad and you cant get a smooth take off.

So what exactly do I need to replace to fix all this? Clutch? Pressure plate? Both?
