McLeod Dual Disc Clutch Owners COME ON IN! Ok, so recently I posted a thread about thinking i blew up my clutch.
I was reading on installuniversity(dot)com and read that the slave needed to be shimmed.... Well when i replaced my old slave that blew out, with the new slave, I just slapped it in. Could this be the problem of all this....

It's hard to get in gears, reverse is almost impossible. It feels like its not engaging or disengaging all the way also. If that car is in neutral and you rev it up you dont get any noise, but a slight vibration. But like i said, if you rev it up in gear... with the clutch pushed in... it sounds like its coming apart!
My theory...
at first i thought the nuts that hold the pressure plate on had backed off.
Took the bottom half of the bell housing off today, retorqued all of them to 55lbs with loctite. Then went around them again, to double check them, same problem.
NOW... i think maybe a spring has come off of a clutch disc. What would cause this to happen? This clutch has 2.5 months of use on it!

You replacing it likely cured both after belleding it from the install?
