Not the clutches fault. I would def. talk to the shop that did the work and see what they would be willing to do. If they don't back up their work I'd contact the BBB and put an article in the local newspaper and tell the shop that they are about to get a bunch of bad publicity.

I guess the clutch forgot to use thread locker on the flywheel bolts when it was installing itself?

I was never trying to say that it was SPECs screw up.. It was whom ever installed it.. Just wanted to show what happens when locktight isnt used.
