Ello mate,
See the problem here is you changed the clutch but didn't skim the flywheel (you haven't said you did?). The plate will judder as you lift off as there will be ridges where the old clutch bit into it and heat spots from slipping on the old one. The slipping in 2nd is because there isn't enough contact for it too grip.
and the matrix will have cracked on one of the pipes when you were fighting with the gearbox.
either way skim the flywheel and refit and it should be fine unless the clutch your fitting is fucked.
If you want to get rid I have a Moonstone Saff stg3 on f plate arrive and drive coming in next weekish that we possibly do a deal on if its that bad.
Goodluck mate

That pedal bracket has been broken since I first saw the car. Remember I showed you it was loose and the next time I came down you said you'd fixed it. I was well impressed cos its a wanker of a job and I didn't even get a phone call.Glad you finally got it driving

heater matrix went on the car same time as when was having clutch issues so bought a new matrix and thought well as most of dash and interior had to come out be best to sort some sounds for the car.
seats out and the stripping begins
got the carpet out and gave it a good scrub and a hoover as it bloody needed in lol
mats too.......
when i got the car had pair of decent speakers in the dash cant remember what make there were but they sound good,just needed some feel to the sounds so bass box with pair of denon subs and denon amp was installed.Nothing fancy but it does the trick
after a long saturday finailly everythings back in place
also got my swirl pot fitted too
job done.... baring anymore mishaps next thing to tackle is the suspension as back is too low for my liking and ride is some what harsh at times
many thanks to dave for all the work -cheers pal
