Cant reverse without burning clutch?

I have an Exedy stage 1 clutch, and I can't for the life of me reverse the car without burning the clutch. The smell is very prominent and the pedal feels like metal on metal grinding. Yet I have no problem going through the gears in the forward direction. Has anybody else noticed this?

When did this started happening? Was it right after you installed the clutch?

Found this, sounds like few people have similar issues.

Yup, started as soon as I had the clutch replaced. I've since put on about 10k miles. Thanks for the link! I'll take a look now.

It's interesting though, unless I'm missing something, the gear ratios for first and reverse are very close, so it's not like torque in reverse is greater. Who the h$ll knows
