well i was going to ask you if he may have just replaced the clutch disk and didnt touch the pressure plate, but then you talked about the burn outs... my dad runs a shop and when customers do this it pretty much rules out installation mistakes...most of the time the kids that do this get away with it and they get new parts too...
i dont know, maybe you're right and it shouldn't have burned up but still...

well, let me make it clear. I dont care how shitty of a clutch you got put in your car, you should be able to burn the **** out of it for longer then this. take it back and tell him that its a pos and to put in another one, i would at my shop no questions asked. a clutch should last months wven under the stress of 5 burnouts a day. take it back
