New clutch/flywheel randomly went out

Hi guys so i just replaced my clutch and flywheel like 100 miles ago in my 05 TL. I went up this big hill and when i parked it and went back into the car the clutch would not grab the flywheel. It sounds like its just grinding onto each other and/or something is in there rattleing. I tried dropping the clutch in first to see if it would stall out it wouldnt. There was some red colored leakage from it. Any of you have this problem before? Car clutch felt very good before all of this happened. Pedal is still somewhat hard but not like how it use to be.

ive had something similar happen in my audi.
So I took it back to the mechanic and let them fix it.

many factors involved could cause this problem and all these factors require dropping the transmission.
let the mechanic who did the work figure it out.
Bet you the flywheel needs replacement but wasnt.

If there's one thing I've learned (the hard way) is that you replace the flywheel whenever you replace the clutch on these cars.
It has to do with their dual mass design. Only about $200 from rockauto
