There are only a few things that can cause it then, I know this set-up has perfect release, I have now proved it to myself twice on my own car and have done about 4 other 370's that have had no issues either, Not the exact same clutch, Still south bends though.

Did you clean the splines and make sure the disk slid easily across them before install?

Other possibilities are that the disk is bent from installation, this can happen from letting the trans hang on the disk while stabbing the trans.

The splines are dirty and not allowing the disk to slide freely or burred up causing the disk to stick on the input shaft

The pilot bushing is damaged from install and spinning the input shaft.

The disk is scored and has a high spot from slipping it too much before break in was completed, If it is this it may get better after wearing some material off.

That is all I can think of for now, I will think more on it while I'm not sleeping tonight
