I just got done doing a clutch in mine. I got the clutch from Summit, center force 12 inch for 365, and I got a F1 Billet lightened flywheel off the auction site for 165ish.

I would replace the slave/throwout bearing, master cylinder and pilot bearing as well.

The torque tube spins whenever the clutch is out. It does not depend on the vehicle moving.

well finally got the car back, got a new cluth kit, aluminium torque tube bushings, i dont know if im paranode or what but when the car idles i can hear some kinda noise where the shifter is so im guessing by the clutch, when i push in the clutch the noise seems to go away. it only happens when the clutch isnt pushed in. Its not a loud or bad noise. what can it be?
