Yea...clutch replacement in a B18 544 sucks. Might as well pull the whole engine with the transmission attached...

What was the reason for the clutch replacement in the first place? And... did you replace the whole thing... including pressure plate and throwout bearing? THere are two types of each, and a mix match could cause that....

But, knowing 544s, its probably the linkage. Just go over it all and make sure its tight, and adjusted right. It definitely tends to wear out.

OF course, the throwout arm could also be bent...which means its about to break. Had taht happen too on a 544 once. A throwout arm from a 122 will work, and its a stronger part.

Good luck with it! Hope you don't have to tear it apart again...
