The clutch feels pretty solid with regards to grip. After talking to Alan at Unique and Lewis at Southern Automotive, it sounds like my problem is likely centered around the fact that my new flywheel and clutch assembly were not balanced prior to installation. I noticed that some material had been removed from the original flywheel in a couple of spots (probably done by Lewis during the original build). I can only surmise that a light little car with a thundering engine won't mask even slight imbalances.

Just goes to show you, only trust your snake to the experts. I don't see enough of this stuff to know the difference between "average wear" and "got to be replaced".
