Clutch Problem
Recently installed a new clutch, throw-out bearing and pilot bearing in my 88 Vert. I check the flywheel and it was in good conditon so I didn't have it resurfaced.
The problem is: I have the same problems as I did before I replaced the clutch. It smokes when I use it a lot. And the car makes a wierd cherping (twiking noise that sounds like the clutch is slipping, or something is slipping). This mostly happens when I am in gear at lower RPM's when I am slowing down.
My question is: is there some other type of adjustment I can make to the clutch to elimanate the problems?
Thanks for your ideas.

When replacing the clutch it is highly recommended to replace the Master Cylinder and the Slave. Perhaps one or both of these items is working improperly and causing your problem.
