Did you clean off the flywheel properly? Did you get it resurfaced if it needed it?

Do you have your cable set up properly? There isn't any tension on the pressuer plate from the throw out bearing because the clutch fork is too tight is there? just an idea.

If you have a firewall cable adjuster, make sure it is adjusted properly.

a friend of mine had this problem, and it ended up being that the installer (who also messed up my car) put his clutch in wrong, like he didnt push it in all the way or something. Take it back to whereever u got it put in and tell them to redo it.
