Weirdest herky jerkey clutch

The first one I bought off the net. I had issues from the start. Couldn't get it adjusted, (free play) and the t/o bearing was riding in the fingers until it failed and ruined 2 of the 3 fingers. Think the fingers weren't right from the get go? The second and last one I bought from Brewers and I had it checked out at Clutch Masters b/4 installing. It has been good!
