What engine does your car have? An 8BA ('51 Ford) flywheel doesn't fit the earlier engines. We need more information, but at this time, rushing in and just changing the clutch to a different type probably doesn't guarantee anything. I have "long" clutches on my 8BA's and they are smooth as silk.

From what I have heard so far, I would have grave doubts about the knowledge and skill of the "builder". In particular, using a '51 Ford flywheel "because it's lighter" is pure BS.
