well tonite i was driving my car around for a while and when i pulled into walmart when i put it in first i felt this weird like notching in the clutch when i was letting go, so i stoped for a min then i went to put it in gear and it would only grind and not go in, i tried atleast 20 times to get it in gear and no go. so then i shut the car off then put it in gear and it worked. ive heard stories that when it walks u can feel it in the clutch when you are turning.anybody ever had this problem?
 
The crank walk clutch symptom you speak of is the pedal hitting the ground on left turns. With what you described I would be more inclined to say its somewhere else in the drive train.
 
dude ill let u know its not crank walk. Ill tell u the problem right away cuz i was stumped with this problem for a while. If you are puting clutch to the floor and try to put it in gear and it grindes that is most likly ur throwout bearing went bad like mine did. Its probably in a couple of pieaces in the tranny. And the throwout bearing is getting jammed up on the transmision shaft in the clutch bell area.
 
C-walk is a dance started by a gang called the crips ;) Seriously though its not crankwalk, you probably just need to bleed your clutch. Its like bleeding your brakes but the bleeder valve is on your clutch slave cylinder.
 
it is free if you have wrenches. Another thing you should do since you have the aftermarket act clutch is make an extended rod for your slave cylinder or you can buy one.
 
just basically give u less travel u have to push the clutch in to change gears. So u dont grind gears when u shift. The rod is like 25 buzx on ebay and super easy to install. Try to bleed ur clutch system first.
