Clutch and Vibrations

I just got a new clutch and its horrible its not grabbing and I also get a wierd vibration after 3 k. The place missaligned something. I'm taking it back end for them to look at it. Any ideas of what couldve happened there. Its the shop I always goto and they do good work. Any ideas please like pulling a 2nd gear scratch is none existant with no kick at all.
Thanks in advance

sounds to me they screwed up putting it in. could be they didnt replace the pilot bushing or bent the fingers on the pressure plate putting it in. How bad was the flywheel wore when they took the old clutch out and did they have it resurfaced. They may have even left the bolts loose in the pressure plate.

I hate a thief as much as I hate terrorists.

I hope that person that stole your stuff got run over by a freight train.

David, I recently pulled my Lionel and Marx trains outta storage! My HO trains are still back east.
I'm gonna rent Travel Town in Griffith Park for my Son's Second Birthday, where all the old Locomotives are.

Just maybe, the SuperChief traveling from Chicago to LA, may have to make a correction stop in OK to stomp on someones' a$$ for dumping on a 3rd Gen Friend!

I grew up around trains, all my life. Damn, they're BIG and powerful. Imagine an internal combustion engine, operating, without an engine block hiding the action. That's an old Steam Locomotive to me!
