Default clutch dis-engaging

Had a question for you. I recently put a RB in my pcr pro. The problem is when letting off the brakes, the wheels spin without throttle. Is the clutch not dis-engaging? If so, how do I fix it. Thanks.

Your springs might be shot, or maybe your bearings on the clutch bell are toast. Take it apart and see whats going on.

If you put the car on the ground so it wont move will it die? If it does your clutch springs have broken

No, it does not die. The car will actually go forward. These are new shoes and springs. Could I have installed them backwards?

If you can hold the car still and doesnt die, your idle may be too high? try bringing it down a little

I dont think you can put shoes in backwards? They either go leading or trailing edge and that would not make a differance in your case.
