Default Clutch??

I just got a used tranny put in my car along with a new pressure plate and throw out bearing...and a couple of things seem to not be working right....First of all.....I used to be able to chirp second gear very easily, now since I have this stuff, I cannot chirp second....annnnd also when I was racing last night I realized that when I shift into a gear, the rpm guage will go up and then stay at the same place as I am accelerating, then fall back down to the correct rpm.... so any help would be greatly appreciated

I just got a new clutch about 600 miles ago....when i got the tranny replaced, I had already just gotten a new entire clutch.....then the transmission place that did the work on my car said that my throw out bearing and pressure plate needed to be replaced...

did you break it in properly or did you beat the shit out of a brand new clutch? and did you have the flywheel resurfaced?

No, I gave it about 200 miles worth of breaking it in.....the guy at the honda dealership said i didnt have to break in my clutch....so I decided to wait about 200 miles before doing any kind of racing, and everything was fine until I got my car back after getting the flywheel resurfaced, and also throwout bearing and pressure plate....how long are u supposed to break in a clutch for?

Ive read anywhere between 500 and 700 miles. My car is down right now because we are throwing in my act clutch and 8lb flywheel and I plan on breaking it in for at least 500 miles before I start shifting hard again.
