Do you remember if your front subframe was secured with hex or bigboy e-torx? Everything on the interwebs says it should be a 16 or 18mm hex, but mine are either E16 or E18.Quote:

Okay, I’ve got another question.
Since doing my clutch I’ve noticed vibrations when coasting/maintaining speed when I’m right around 2500-2600rpm. It seems isolated to that range.
Could it be that I didn’t get my driveshaft perfectly lined back up, and thus isn’t perfectly balanced? Maybe I was off by a one or two teeth when I put the two halves back together, idk. My giubo and CSB were replaced back in November when I did my subframe bushings. Maybe I didn’t “preload” the CSB correctly, or the CSB carrier wasn’t pushed back up into the butyl enough, even though the nuts were tightened to spec? Any ideas?
Your new flywheel has a pilot bearing in it right?
Mhmm. I feel like the clutch engagement is way too smooth to be coming from the new installation, but honestly I’m not sure.Quote:

Mine did, and they are supposed to, so I can only assume that Spenser’s did as well.Quote:

Yep it was preinstalled. I’ll probably drop the exhaust this weekend to make sure I got the driveshaft halves aligned correctly.Quote:

I’d rather just pay to have it done for me at this point lol
