I thought it was that I forgot to wipe the oil off the flywheel. But it should have worn off by now. Sometimes it will grab and then slips after hammerin it a couple times. Then sometimes it will slip immediately. Guess I gotta rip this bitch out again. I'm so damn tired of yanking cobalt transmissions! And my dad's hhr SS/tc is next

Around 700 miles. This isn't a first timer problem, I've put many clutches in. Helped blkwdoss put this same clutch in his car. I think something is leaking on the clutch. Took a small trip of about three hours both ways and it was grabbing like a ****. Then, after a day of city drivin it starts to slip again. I know the oil on the flywheel should have dissipated by now.
