What could be wrong? I'll be in 1st gear with the clutch all the way down and the car dies. It doesn't do it all the time once in awhile. I am having really bad trans problems, I do not know if the trans can cause the car to die or if that's a clutch problem. The clutch was just replaced with a clutch master stage 4. All the sudden I'll get locked out of all the gears.

clutch leak? contort yourself under the driver's dash to check to see if you have black residue and brake fluid leaking out of the cylinder entered by the clutch pushrod.

might not be your problem, but it could be it.

Anything else guys?

You're turbo, right? Could it be a crappy tune?

Turbos not installed yet, waiting to figure whats wrong.

Are you talking about when you're just sitting, push the clutch in and it dies? Or if you're driving around, push the clutch in and it dies? If it's the later, try resetting the ECU. Mine would go crazy sometimes and do that. I'd be driving around, push in the cluch to come to a stop and it'd just die on me. A ECU reset always cleared it up.

What mods do you have currently?

It does sound like the clutch/pressure plate or clutch hydrolic system may be causing you some of the issues.

Otherwise, stalling can sometimes be fixed by doing a MAP whack, cleaing the IAC, or cleaning the throttle body (including the air passage to the MAP).

Check in the Under the Hood forum for DIY on some fixes.

I guess it would be important to understand if the engine dies because the idle drops too low and the engine stumbles or whether the engine dies because the clutch does not disengage fully and you are not moving.

The car dies because of the idle dropping. An example is I had it in gear clutch was down and I was about to creep into my garage and it died. It died while the clutch was down all the way. I have a cai and an exhaust. I just got the clutch installed I hope it isn't that otherwise I'm going to be pissed. I'm bringing the car in tomorrow to a shop that I have heard nothing but good things about to get the head gasket installed they said they'd look at the trans. I really hope its nothing major. I just dropped $1500 on the clutch and $4500 on the inline pro kit.

See, that's a vital piece of info that you didn't include in your first post, now all of the sudden, you have in inline pro kit.

Maybe it's related to your problem... just a guess...
