Clutch issues

What's up guys!!!

So I need you guys help..

So last month I purchased I new clutch kit with flywheel(ACT) for my Evo X.. Now guys before you guys tell me was a bad choice of clutch I think I know by now :/ but for does who don't please DONT DONT DONT BUY AN ACT CLUTCH!!!

After installing the clutch first gear to second on a stop would vibrate A LOT. I thought was normal so was driving it like that for the 5,000 miles that they required to break in the clutch. At the 5,000 miles I decided to do couple pulls!! Was fine but later on the next day clutch started to smell like burnt just to have it on and idk if it needs to be adjusted or just needs new clutch? And if I go for a new clutch what do you guys recommend?? And also should I get new flywheel or keep the same one of the ACT clutch kit?

Set up is just having it on e85 pushing around 390HP

Hope you guys can help me out. Thanks in advanced!

who installed it? sometimes it isn't necessarily the clutch but the install might have been bad. some adjustment? but either way, sounds like you'll have to pull it to see.

Sounds like you need to adjust the clutch pedal.

ACT clutches have a 5000 mile break in? that's a **** ton of miles just for breaking it in.

It's actually 500 miles. The ACT XTSS and HDSS are good clutches for the most part.
