i don't know if it's bc the installation of clutch/flywheel/csc,
it was okay for like 5minutes, when i went to the city and used 1st and 2nd gears to stop and to go, (i don't know if this caused this problem or not)
when i put in 1st gear and put gas, rpm became unstable and started jerking, and car wouldn't go like normal.. then i stopped my car and turned off the engine for like 10 mins and it worked fine...and next day, it happened again.
when it happend it seemed like i drove a car with side break on. (saying that feel like somethings holding my car backward)
its hard to describe unless u actually drive it...but so far of explanation
anyone knows whats goin on?

wow dude! that is unheard of! which clutch/fly did you end up getting? are you sure it's not you not being used to the new setup? it can happen if you clutch out too soon or not enough fuel to compensate. clutch needs to be broken in btw!

it's south bend stage2 clutch and flywheel from them. i got it from Zspeedperformance.com
known vendor from this website
yep it has to be broken in but i dont' think this is the normal consequence.
and im sure it's not me not used to have this clutch..
i've been driving around fine but that happend very occasionally. esp when i put 1st gear (when car isn't moving and accerelate after the clutch is engaged...hmm

I would check over the car, Since it is happening after clutch engagement and sitting still it sound like a running issue.
Since you have no CEL I will assume it has nothing to do with the crank sensor.

Check over everything they did during the install and also check you intake pipes for good connections, The engine can get moved around a lot with a trans pull and sometimes pull the pipe connections loose at the intakes causing weird bucking issues.

Awesome! Now take it easy on that clutch until break in period is over, No more full throttle runs slipping the crap out of it

How does the Southbend Stage 2 clutch feel?? Is the pedal effort stiffer than stock?? Also are you using a lightweight singlemass flywheel or a dual mass flywheel???

This the same southbend that does clutches for the diesels? If it is then that's freaking awesome.
