Definately! If you have it backwards the springs will hit the flywheel before the friction surface will. Always put the flatter side toward the flywheel. You would have figured this out if you used the pilot tool and slid the disk up to the flywheel before covering it with the pressure plate, it would have been very obvious. Did you use a pilot tool?
Sounds like your clutch is history. Possible the transmission but I am betting on the clutch. You have to pull both any way if you had the $$ you could replace the tranny with a rebuilt or have that one rebuilt at the same time.
If your car has a manual transmission, and it over rev's in every other gear as well, than no doubt it is your clutch. Other wise it is your transmission.
Depends on what your transmission is. If it's a manual, it may simply not be broken in quite yet, and you should double clutch, rather than float. It could also be possible that you're hitting the gears wrong.
The transmission. or clutch if it has one.
Depends on the type of transmission you have. If it's an automatic, check the transmission fluid with the vehicle running to make sure it isn't low. If it's not and the transmission slips you've probably got an internal problem inside the transmission. If it's a manual transmission it could be the hydraulic fluid is low if you have a hydraulic clutch, or it could be the clutch itself. If you've got an older clutch that's not hydraulic, it could be out of adjustment, or the clutch itself is bad.
A warped or otherwise damaged clutch disk or a faulty clutch master or slave cylinder could be preventing the clutch from completely disengaging when you depress the clutch pedal.
you need a clutch that's all
If it's a hydraulic clutch, try bleeding the slave cylinder. Manual linkage, try adjusting the clutch. If no help, something's wrong with the pressure plate and you need a new clutch.
You probably have a slipping clutch band in your transmission. Take it to a transmission shop.
Sounds like the clutch disc is destroyed.
Depends on what exactly is wrong with it :) Unless it is about simply replacing or adjusting the clutch cable, replacing the clutch involves removing transmission out, which means taking the axles out etc.
Worn syncros, lack of lubricant, clutch adjustment,
