I have a ACT 2600 clutch and Fidanza Flywheel on my 1g FWD Turbo. I have had the clutch for about 7 months and it has only got worse. When I put my car into gear it starts to inch forward even if I have the clutch all the way down and it is very hard to get into gear. So I spoke with my mechanic and we bleed the clutch and it got a little better for about a week then it went back to the same thing. He told me that I should change my Slave Cylinder so I did and now the wheels spin even while it is in neutral.OMG And still it is pretty hard to get into gear. Before I installed the clutch it wasn't bad at all to get into gear except for the occassional second gear grind. Now it is near impossible to get it into first gear and now I can't drive it until I figure out a way to keep the wheels from staying still in neutral and while in gear. Anyone with any suggestions or ideas on how to fix this would be greatly appreciated. Also one other thing the car only has 58000 miles on it so I hoping that I wont have to rebuild the tranny. Please Help
 
Your fork that the slave pushs on is probly bent due to the heavey pressure plate it happened to me to just once in a great moon till i get the fork changed i just going to :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: cause trans work aint cheap
 
Try adjusting your clutch. Sounds like you aer preloading the master cylinder and when you push on the clutch, you can't fully release the PP from the flywheel. It's nothing major, just some minor adjusting or replacing of the master cylinder.
