Verdict is life hates my azz. There is now undoubtedly an issue with the pickup teeth on the flywheel. I installed the new sensor with a small copper washer and the car would spudder but would not start. So I took the washer off, and the car fired right up, but I shut it off seconds later because I could HEAR the ring grinding the plastic off the new sensor, JFC. I ran back to work and the techs had some really thin shims, 4 equaled the copper washer, I pulled the sensor, which now has a slight groove in it, and put three shims on, and the car starts and runs poorly, but I cannot hear the teeth grinding the sensor. At this point the headers were too hot for me to reach back in there. Tomorrow after work I will remove a shim and then drive it over and park it at the shop, which is less than a mile. Monday ill get it on a rack and pull the check plate to see if I can visually see any issues, regardless it sounds as if the trans is coming out AGAIN. I really do not want to drop 2k on a OS Giken twin disk, Shane at work has a clutch masters twin in his 550 whp neon and it drives like $%^& on the street...Im not sure the JWT is up to the task of holding this power...I ran ACT in my 350z with no issues, I might see what they have to offer. This is getting stupid.
