Seems like your fluid is causing some type of excessive drag on the input shaft, which is making your RPMs lower when the clutch is engaged with the flywheel.

The armchair mechanic in me thinks your transmission fluid is too thick for your temperature range.

Exactly. If I leave my track gear oil in over the winter and start it up on stands I can't grab the wheel and slow it down unless I want a finger taken off.

I have a feeling the OP has OEM fluid, which slightly surprises me that the car physically moves, but who knows.
