Problems with acceleration...need help please!!!

1. So this past summer i decided it was time to replace my clutch in my '93 s13 hatch, didnt have much money so got the advance auto kit and installed it, it ran great right away havent had a problem with it for a couple weeks to about a month. Then i decide to test the clutch and what not and i guess it wasnt a good idea. Now every once in a while when i start from a stop it shakes like its from the trans but it usually does it after drivin on the highway for an hour or so more then from a cold start. i was wondering if i could have messed up the throw out bearing cause im not sure exactly what that does even though i replaced it with the kit.

2. i also had a problem with my spark plugs. one had a crack so was letting air pressure through popping off the wires so i replaced those and another one cracked and started doin it again. replaced them about 2 weeks ago and not another has crcked yet(knock on wood).

3. last but not least my antennae is sticking when it goes down so it stops a couple inches from all the way in. could i just use some WD40 on this? or will that mess something up? just afraid of messin something up cause i dont have the time or money to fix unneeded things at the moment.

Thanks for any help.

1. no idea. umm... did you get the flywheel checked out?

2. hmm... ok.

3. yeah, try wd-40. it won't mess anything up.

yeah i checked it out and only had to clean it with a scotch brite pad, no grooves or anything.

you may have overheated your clutch and warped the flywheel a little. if its not flat then it will cause some vibration. not a big deal.

what kind of plugs? ngk is the only kind i would reccomend and they are dirt cheap too.

wd40 is a-ok.

well the vibrations only happen when accelerating from stop and not even half the time then. and could over heating the clutch happen form one burn out?

I used regular NGk's then one cracke so replaced them with NGK V-powers since they were the same price.

any time you slip the clutch a lot you are warming up the flywheel.
