Hello everyone, so currently my clutch is getting stuck half way through forcing you to pop it out by putting your foot under the clutch pedal. For awhile this was annoying but as long as you popped it you would feel the car go into gear. However, now my car will barely move until you get it up to about 5000 rpm (big gas killer) even after popping out the clutch. It feels like the car is constantly 75% in neutral and 25% in gear. I have put in a new slave and still the same exact problem. I'm becoming more and more convinced that it is my clutch but naturally I would like to know if it could be something more simple before I tackle that beast. Also when my car is in gear you can literally let go of the clutch and the car will not stall....it's becoming an automatic :barf:
 
Thanks for the quick reply. I read the other post and it is similar thanks. However I feel that my problem differs a little because the car goes into gears smoothly actually if the car is sitting you can shift through gears without putting the clutch in. It's almost like it's mostly in neutral all the time and the clutch won't engage, it take a lot of power to get it going. Does this sound like a bad clutch or sticking clutching?
 
My bad I misread your original post. Sounds like your clutch disk is wore out. Get under a car and try to push on the clutch fork pushing in towards the slave cylinder. If the slave cylinders compresses taking any load off the throw out bearing then your clutch disk is gone.
