I already have touched every single part of the car. I'm retouching at this point, which I shouldn't have to do. Makes me
Hopefully the mount fixes it and I can be done. Won't be great for the track, but let's face it, I'm not going to the track anyway.
I still think you'll need to rebalance the clutch.
Didn't we discuss the need for that before? Is this something you
'd on, or did the guy balance it?
I didn't
on any aspect of the build. I had it balanced. The debate was how necessary it was because of how hard it was to find a shop to do it.
The problem was/is, nowhere does it. I had to go to this old dude in the middle of nowhere with a barn for a shop that builds race engines. I told him what needed to be done and he seemed to understand, but he said it was a weird request (make the new clutch identical in out of balance to the old), so I'm not 100% sure it was done right.
The thing is, if it's out of balance, it's just barely. Again, I can't feel any vibration. It's all a harmonic booming that I can kind of feel in the seat. I've found a number of threads in the gold chainz forum complaining about the exact same thing when installing a poly diff mount. It's just not complaint enough to dampen anything that isn't perfect since the torque tube somewhat amplifies unbalance. When a clutch is out of balance, people complain about bad vibration, which I don't have.
There's also reports of people balancing the clutch with washers under the pressure place bolts. If the mount fixes it, I'll probably make that a winter project to fix it entirely. Shouldn't take much to fix the balance, just time that I don't have right meow.
