Clutch Suggestions (I think)

I've got a 99 with about 115k miles on it and I think the clutch is starting to go out. In every gear in RPMs between 1k and 2k the car seems to stutter a bunch (I'm assuming the clutch slipping) while I accelerate. I tried to start from a stand-still in 4th gear to see if the car would stall out and although it tried, it did not completely stall out.

So if I'm correct in my assumption that the clutch is going out (let me know if its another possibility), what are y'alls suggestions for a new clutch?

Well I guess I forgot to mention that it definitely does not accelerate like its supposed to. So yes, there is very little speed change until the RPMs get around 2k or so.

Can you elaborate? Video perhaps..

I also agree on checking your fuel pressure.



Have you done any maintenance? fuel filter/plugs etc?

I don't have a video. The best I can describe it is like when you're first learning how to drive a standard and you're not very good with the clutch yet and the car bounces like crazy. Its like a very mild version of that feeling (I've driven a standard for 7 years so its not bad clutch usage on my part).

As far as maintenance, I did a whole bunch of stuff quite recently because I was having idling problems: replaced spark plugs, cleaned MAF, replaced fuel filter, checked vacuum lines, cleaned EGR valve, etc...can't really remember all the crap I did trying to solve my problem...I actually forgot what actually ended up solving my idling problem haha. Anyway, I don't know what else to look at as I looked over everything it feels like a few months ago trying to figure out my idling problems.
