Default something wrong with my rex?

hey guys.i have a 91 crx si with b16..i had a friend of mine put a clutch for me..clutch specialties stage 2...heres the problem..when i roll the car slowly.it shakes.the wheels wobble and vibrates at the same time makin noise....another is.when i start the car to warm it up..theres a vibration comin from the tranny i think.gets kinda loud like metal bouncing off of something,i dunno..and another is.when im on the road.the car sways left to right...y do the wheels wobble? ive never had a performance clutch b4..i dont think this is normal,is it? and vibration?..and the car swaying on the road,does that mean it needs an alignment? i really have no idea..if u know what im talkin about.what can i do..did my friend do a shitty job?

Wow! Sounds like you have some serious problems.

First of all, is there any leakage anywhere from the tranny where the axles insert?

Also, did your friend remove the dust seals from the inside of your hubs?

Did he put the nuts back on the axle ends at the wheels?

What did he do to remove your old axles and install the new axles? Did he just lower the upper control arms or did he dissasemble the ball joints holding the brakes in place?

he didnt install new axles..he installed a new clutch..and i didnt watch him work or asked..i left it at his place for him to work on,cuz i had to work the next day,after work,i picked it up.right away i knew something was wrong..he did say..yo dude.u do need to fix ur wheels cuz it does shake bad..see.i had told him.the steerin wheel shakes but when i brake.and i know i need new discs cuz their uneven.but i told him.dude it didnt shake when i drove it.gassed or nothing like that.only when i was brakin.he was just like oh..so he was like whatever.didnt seem like he wanted to check it.i was just like ah whatever.maybe it will go away..but no.its gotten on my nerves now.its embarrasin on the road.makin these noises and stuff.i hate it..im thinkin he did something bad.i dunno what though...but no,there r no leaks..the bolts on the axles r pretty tight..do the axles have pin locks on the end? cuz mine dont or not all axles have pin locks?

my car used to sway back and forth bad it was the shocks..
also how does the clutch grab easiet way to see if he did everything right. I would tighten everything check out your shocks and get an alignment

when he put the clutch in, did he readjust the cable? maybe when your warming it up, the clutch is not sitting properly on the flywheel. did he use an alignment tool to install the clutch? Did he tighten the hubs properly? i hope this helps a bit. good luck with the trouble shooting
