2. Jared Says: Was the gearbox guaranteed? Are you trying to take off in high gear?
3. A Says: That sounds more like an engine problem than a problem with your clutch.

What Jared suggests may not be as daft as it sounds. You may be trying to take off in third gear or fifth - not because you're stupid but because a part of your gear lever linkage has fallen apart. If only the forward/backwards movement of the lever is being transmitted to the gearbox then it may be stuck between third & fourth gear or fifth and reverse. Check that none of the bolts have fallen out.
4. J R Says: it sounds like you have put the connecting rods on the wrong way round and you are selecting a high gear,check it out
