Need some advice on my newly installed clutch.
Just got my clutch put in about 2 weeks ago. (I took it to a shop) Now my tranny grinds going into 2nd, 3rd and 4th gear when driving hard and shifting fast. Also, it makes this funny noise and sounds like the clutch disc is grinding on the flywheel while in nutrual with clutch engaged. When I press down on clutch pedal it goes away. And lastly the balance of my front tires seem to be a little off. It feels fine going about 50mph but once I hit around 80mph it feels like sh*t and gets even worse when I step on the brakes. Could something be loose or banged out of alignment when they popped out the axles? Please give me some advice cause I'm really thinkin about taking the car back to the place and opening a can of worms on them.

Did you happen to have the flywheel changed or resurfaced? If you did it sounds like it could be that the flywheel bolts are loose. That would cause all of your problems, even the front tires feeling out of balance.

Since we have no idea what sort of clutch was put in the car we have no idea if the sound with the clutch depressed isn't just clutch chatter.
