Re: Some updates

Ok, update yet again. I got everything back in! I didn't feel like waiting for 2 weeks to get an ACT, so i went and got another Centerforce Dual Friction from Summit. This time i put it in with an OEM t/o bearing because the Centerforce ones suck. Got the tranny in. This job gets easier and easier every time i do it lol. Got everything back together. Even fixed my exhaust manifold crack with ThermoSteel. Cleaned up a lot of stuff too. Started her up and she ran like a dream. Not a single problem. No grinds, harsh shifts or anything. Clutch grabs awesome, no slipping or chattering. I'm still giving it a break-in perod, though. At least 600miles. My only concern about everything...Sometimes when i downshift at a low speed (say 35mph, from 4th to 3rd) there's a very, very minor vibration when the clutch engages. My g/f and 2 other friends don't even know what i'm talking about cause they can't feel it, but i can. I can't remember if my old CF did this or not cause it's been so long. I probably should have gotten my flywheel resurfaced, but i had to make an appointment cause the place was so busy and they wanted almost $70. My flywheel was in excellent shape, though. No cracks, scores or coloring from heat. I just cleaned the hell out of it. Any idea what this minor vibration could be?

Thanks for any help.
