Sounds like a clutch problem.

its a brand new clutch

Bad clutch installation or oil/grease contamination?

vang9191

so i would have to throw another new clutch on it? and if it is contaminated, how to rid of that

Wrona

take the clutch off and clean it up??? make sure everything is clean and doesnt have crap on it

^^^make sure you clean it real good and replace the tranny fluid.

vang9191

do i have to take out the tranny? is this something that can be done without any kind of special tools?

Wrona

all you need is some brain and a ratchet

vang9191

GOT THE RATCHET... just not the brains. lol

Prepare for a 4-5hr job to remove the transmission out by yourself if your are mechanically inclined.Next time around, make sure not to leave grease or grime on the clutch disc. It's the same as a brake rotor. Contaminants will cause issues....hence the outcome being his thread.

do you guys think i just need to bleed the clutch more?
and I'll have mechs look at it

Bleeding the clutch won't do a thing for your problem. Roll up your sleeves and get your hands dirty. Whoever did the swap (from your comments, we all know you didn't) did a SHITTY job with the clutch install. Cleanliness and thoroughness are always a top priorites when you are wrenching on cars.
