def take a shitload of photos when you pull the clutch back out.
did you resurface the flywheel when installing the new clutch?

I took the car apart last night, the clutch disc they sent me is smaller than the friction surface on my flywheel by about 1/2" and the presssure plate is the same size as the flywheel so the disc is only contacting about half of it's contact face.
Yes I cleaned the flywheel and pressure plate with brake clean before installation, just as I have done on all my other clutch jobs in the past 10 years, no chemicals used on the clutch disc. No there was not extra grease everywhere, no theres no rear main seal oil leak. Yes the clutch pedal is adjusted properly, no there no issue with the slave cylinder. Yes it's still in the break in period, but it should hold stock power under normal acceleration.
