Makes me wonder if you have the clutch disc in backwards, if that is the case, you will be bottoming the clutch disc springs on the heads of the flywheel bolts and probably if that is the case the clutch disc should be thrown away. When you get it apart look at each side of the disc, it will have a label that tells you flywheel side.

Also, if you have a digital camera, snap a couple pics and upload them up by using the full editor, Stovebolt recently had an upgrade and this is a really nice feature, a picture tells the story of 1000 words can't.
