Jame,

When you changed the clutch did you resurface the flywheel? How was the 
pilot bushing? Was there any oil at all in the inside of the 
bellhousing? If you had a ring of oil thrown around the inner 
circumference of the bell, it may be that contamination is the cause, 
possibly from a leaky rear seal?

Just throwing out some possibilities. Good Luck.
