Default New clutch, immediate problems!

Howdy,

I just replaced my factory clutch @ 70k miles with a JWT lightweight clutch and flywheel. Now I have squeling as I come out of gear above 4300 rpms and I can't shift up from 4th to 5th or 6th above 4000 rpms! The pedal resistance feels right.. any thoughts?

1 wk ago I was the proud owner of an early 2003 350z, now I've replaced a factory clutch at 70k with a JWT light weight APC performance clutch and the stock filter with a JWT pop filter (prior probs: feathering/tow-in and a drvrs side window grease smear that went away after 2yrs..

Now I can't shift into 5th or 6th (even while stopped)-- Linkage arm?

My baby also whistles/whines at 4500rpm which seems to vent/dissapate over 5500 rpms (air leak?).

I am going to go torque something on this filter and hope my mechanic can help with this clutch!

Any input appreciated.. and I already know I am a novice for letting someone else do the work for me.

Unfortunately, I didn't do the install and neither did the dealership. I just drove the car home tonight. I will drop it off again tomorrow and cross my fingers.
