I don't think I put it in wrong the first time, as i drove it for 100 miles or so without incident.. Tips? I cant help but feel i did something wrong the first time
If it was a new clutch, you are probably right.
Did you change the pilot bushing?
Did you replace the throw out bearing?
Did you use an alignment tool?
Did you inspect the front shaft of the transmission for bad bearings?
Did you install the dust pan? I've seen rocks get in and wreck clutches before.
and last but not least; Did you treat it like a race car?
