Clutch Problems.... RRE No Name Clutch....

Has anyone else here installed the Road Race Engineering no name clutch kit??? Since installing this kit I have had nothing but problems. This clutch slips all the time spirited driving non spirited driving it doesn’t matter. I have tried changing my driving style thinking maybe it was me I installed a SS clutch line hoping better feedback would help none have. This clutch slips if you have just a little bit of a slow release rolling away from a stop sign. Every time it stinks and burns. This clutch is far worse than the stocker when I got the car and I thought it was bad, and we won’t even talk about spirited driving with this clutch any kind of a launch or anything results in burning clutch it doesn’t matter if it’s a dump a slip or you get it just right. Like I said though it’s been this way from day one. Until now I haven’t said anything about it really. I contacted RRE with no answers or comments. Perhaps someone from RRE will offer a solution or someone here can help?

maybe your flywheel is worn down too far and it won't grab the clutch. or did you get a new one?

brand new flywheel... its not that it slips once engauged... its the disengaugedment thats a problem almost every time i get a burning smell... i personally think its just the friction material. I think it sucks...? it doesnt tolerate heat well at all and basically its a worse piece than the stocker. Me i dont suggest this clutch and wish all to stay away from it....
