yea, it took awhile to figure exactly what it was. Cuase when i got done last night and test drove it, the pilot chattered a little when the clutch fully depressed. Usually they do it when the clutch is engaged (not pressing on the pedal). I didnt use the roller that spec sent (thank god so that can be sent back as a whole kit), but instead a brass bushing I ordered from summit. That went away this morning.

When I slipped the clutch to get moving from a stop, it shook the car so damn bad. We startedinsepcting everything, motor mounts, tranny mount, binding in the rear,the driveshaft clearance witht he loop..... Then we just said fock it, take it all apart! Then we found the guilty culprit. We made better time the second round. Started taking it all apart around 11 this morning, and by 1:00 the clutch was out .... AGAIN. After we spent a lot of time mic'ing the flywheel and pressure plate, lunch, dinner, phone calls.... yada yada yada. Got everything bolted back up around 8:00.

I would have taken pictures, but being so dirty, I didnt wanna screw up my camera more then it is. two clutches in two days is too much. LOL now i owe Rob a clutch....
