Especially if your clutch only has about 3K miles, it is very tight....small space
between the disc and the plate with the pedal down.  You're probably getting the
motion from friction from the air-flow between the disc and the pressure plate.  Six
thousand RPM is a lot of speed, and if the car is on radials, and on a flat and
smooth
surface, you might get a little bit of movement from the force on the disc by the
air.  

Before all the skeptics start screaming (Kegel), go outside to the rear (or front)
of the car, and try to push it.....again... level, easy rolling tires, hard
pavement....see just how easy it is to just get it to barely move.

Amazing stuff, air.
