it sounds like ur clutch isnt engaging/disengaging what year and miles is ur car. the master clutch cylinder likes to leak in ap1's with miles. u could be low on fluid, air in the line or maybe the mast or slave cylinder is going. check all that **** first if everything is ok then there could be something wrong with the clutch itself or maybe ur trans is just ready to take a ****

It might not be the problem, But you should start there before you start pulling the car apart. Check all fluids and bleed accordingly. If that fails then come back for the next step.

Ive been looking at a ACT Heavy Duty Clutch Kits and a ACT XACT StreetLite Flywheel. Has anyone run those before, and do they hold up? jw im trying to find a clutch that has smooth engagement and quiet operation...

I have the ACT clutch with the stock AP1 flywheel in my 02. Its turbocharged and the clutch holds fine. It does have a heavy clutch(takes more effort than stock) but its not that bad.
