Smokey Nagata

Just an update on this as I forgot to respond with my or should I say my shops findings:

A couple months after this was posted I started to have other more alarming issues with the car. Which began right after a high rpm 2nd gear downshift. Heavy vibration upon idle and accelerating, clutch engagement issues/odd pedal feel were just some of the more prominent issues present at the time (there was clearly something wrong with the car). I ran through my personal check-list of diagnosis. Checking all mounts trans/engine, linkages, inspected driveshaft for excess play, scanned for codes, I suspected that my CSC was failing due to the clutch related symptoms. Everything checked out so I ended up bringing her in to RZG. They discovered that my stock dual-mass flywheel was coming apart (separating at the bearing area causing excess play) and the csc basically fell apart upon removal of the transmission. Good thing I purchased an entire clutch kit/w Tilton HD CSC the week prior to replace any parts that may have failed or needed replacing. The stock flywheel was the culprit. I replaced all other clutch parts while the tranny was out of the car.
