You have to slowly release the clutch pedal to get the car going when it first gear you can't dump the clutch everytime and expect it to last... j/k I agree with cali on this one definitley sounds like a bad install.

hahaha thats the only name i could think of at the time.

i got the car back today and drove it 5 miles and it happened again.

they told me that the throw out barring was rubbing against the pressure plate and just melting it and therefor ruining the clutch. so they have it over the weekend again..

how the fuck can this happen? anyone have any insight?
