ok i had a new clutch put in my car about 1500 miles ago. [98 Z24] since then the pedal feels weird once in a while. i have noticed a few times that it doesnt hold well. like for ex. i would dump it in first spin all the way thru it then shift and it wouldnt allow the tires to spin that much and the motor still rev’d. like it was slipping badly. you could smell the clutch. it only seems to not hold up when i shift under spin at wot. its a hydra. clutch the clutch i bought was a GM one from the dealer. is there anything that i can do to it, to make it hold better. i know this isnt normal for a new clutch to be doing. it has felt weird since the day i drove it home from the shop. whatelse is funny is it has a different catch spot for every gear. clutch, throwout bearing, slave cyl, pressure plate are all new pieces. and the flywheel was resurfaced. and the tranny that is in the car has only 70k on it. i went to do doughnuts lastnite in reverse and the damm car would pop out of gear when i would high rev it. im assuming this is normal in reverse. it never pops out in the forward gears. ---
