Now the gas problem has been resolved another one reared its ugly head.

I think I lost a pilot berring. I was driving home and i feel something weird in the clutch pedal. It was like a tapping in the pedal itslef. I recently installed a DXD rally series clutch. The problem is only at RPM's below 1k. As soon is it hit 2-3K its gone. I can still feel it in the pedal, the tapping that is, and sometimes have a hard time downshifting. I pulled off the inspection cover of the car and found, what I belive, is a loose clutch fork. ?? Ya, not sure about that one. The tranny is hot enough to screw it with out getting it drunk so I am letting it cool off for a while. Somebody help me with this. I am fearful its something major.

Ok problem found. The darn flywheel bolts backed themselves out!!!!!!! :aigo: Looks like Ill be pulling the tranny again and using the ubber thread sealer. Red LocTite. Sorry for the thread and resolution in the same night lol. But if you ever hear a tapping and feel like you have a rusty spring in your car its the flywheel backing out. Oh and tapping below 1k. and only tapping in that range. Damn thats crazy.

Nice work, Torque those suckers with red loctite and your problems should be over! (well, that problem at least )

You shouldn't even need loctite if you torque them properly.

Well I belive I didnt set it down properly. But I just have like three bolts left, a prop shaft and a midpipe. Should be done tomorrow.

Bishop - Red loctite wont come off with out a small nuclear expolsion. I want to be THAT sure :lol:
