What components of the clutch did you replace?  Just the fiber plates, or the steel plates and the springs as well?  What do you mean when you said you adjusted the clutch internally?  Were the clutch plates soaked in oil before installation?

also to mention the pressure plate rod may need to be adjusted so that the pressure plate can be tightened more so that the clutch engage stronger.

and brian is dead on, it's normally best to soak the clutches in oil before you install them.
and the steel plates and clutches should both be changed.
sometimes you get away with reusing the old steel plates, but i prefer all new.

also did you get the clutches back in the order they came out?

and did you get the small wave spring and smaller clutch in the right order?

they should be the third clutch in the basket.
