Your car is jumping forward with it in gear and clutch pressed in fully when trying to start?

I doubt anyone can give you an accurate answer over the internet. You might want to take you car to a mechanic before you start spending money on parts.

put the car up on jacks.
Have a buddy press the clutch pedal.
watch the slave cylinder to see if it moves the clutch fork


It may not be the clutch. It could be the clutch fork, pivot ball or even the slave/master cylinder. So just buying a JWT kit may not be the answer.

But honestly, posting on here and bitching when you don't get a reply wont get you any closer to fixing your car. Were not your mechanics and the advice is free so take what you can get. Also being able to provide more details can always help with diagnosis.

With comments like that, you won't be getting many answers.

if it was so captain obvious then why did you need to make a thread and beg for help?

only douche bag here bro is the op


buy your jet kit and install. report back when it's not the fix and you need more advice but don't have the funds to do it.

maybe research how a clutch works. your lack of understanding is showing.

it is the collapse of America! everyone is so sensitive to everything!!!

But I digress. I had my master cylinder seals go out the last time changed my slave. no matter how much we bled it the rod would not push out on the fork.

The Master and Slave are external on the 2006 correct, wish mine were. Before you throw a kit to a problem you havent properly diagnosed, you should heed the advice and either jack the car up with a friend OR take it to a trusted mechnanic.
