After getting the new clutch installed, flywheel resurfaced, and other things... i hear this like scratching whistle sound fround the clutch, and my pipes seem to rattle too much... also my brakes might be out, since i don't feel like i'm stopping as quick as i was before...

You guys think this mechanic of mine didn't install something righ? Also, in first & second gear if i dont accelerate to about 3k, my car rattles likes its about to stall....what might be causing this? (i was told that maybe the mech didn't install the flywheel correctly)

Hopefully i get threw these problems, its very disappointing...

I believe the flywheel has an offset bolt pattern that allows it to be installed one way only.

The whistle/scratch could be a bad throwout bearing, or a busted input shaft bearing retainer if the mechanic forced the tranny on. The pipes might be poorly installed. As far as the stalling, perhaps he disconnected a vacuum line accidentally and it's causing issues, that could affect the brake boost if it was in the right place I suppose.
