Can you engage the clutch fully without the engine stalling?

If so, your clutch is badly worn and requires replacement.

If the engine stalls immediately, then your clutch still has sufficient bite. Who knows for how long?

You may have a bit of oil, or something, on your clutch disc, or the disc may be glazed.

Try "burning it off" by doing a couple of aggressive launches, a.k.a. drag racing starts.

Good luck.

Ok so I just tried doing what you said. I let it half way and it certainly catches but if I completely let out the clutch I'm almost 100% sure it will stall out. So what's the deal?
