    The cause: Wrong parts combination, mainly the throw out bearing and the angle of the fork in combination with the pressure plate "cover." The angle of attack is wrong and the bearing binds on the fork, causing the effort to actually bend the fork to get enough throw.

    that was on a jeep forum but could be your problem also

    Ok if you have a cable tranny corey , which am sure you do ,then it could be the cable is melted an need a new one, if its not the cable something is out of align might have to take tranny out to see, if its hydro then there is no adjustments an you might need to check see which clutch is in there ..just my 0.02 cents

    take the cable off, oil it sufficiently. put it back on the tranny. see if that helps, if not, time to dive inside the bell housing. check the fork, when the car drives does it make a bad grinding noise? if so, it may be the fork is bent. that means take the tranny off the car, replace the throw out bearing, new fork, and put everything back together. if you do this, make sure you mark where the clutch is bolted to the flywheel. mark the holes #1, #2, and so on. if the clutch goes on in a different orientation that it came off, you could have clutch slip. thats just because of the way the clutch wears against the flywheel surface.

    Always need make, model, mods, decription of recent work done (nearly 1/2 the time a new problem is a result of a past "fix"), etc. Once the a basic diagnosis is made then the trial & error part comes in -- very seldom is a mechanic 100% positive until they see it, test it, fix it, and it works afterwards...

    i'd agree with josh. check the cable first of all, then try it out. after that, start diving into the forks, and TOB.
