What clutch did you go with? Just curious.

I ended up going wth the luk 04173 clutch set, and I thought it came with the slave cylinder when I ordered it so I ended up getting a slave cylinder from local parts store, because the kit just had the bearing bit the entire slather cylinder, which is the cause of having to do the clutch in the first place

Did you have any balance weights in any of the perimeter holes of your stock flywheel?

I'll have to look to see, I didn't even really pay much attention,I figured I would figure out what to do if I had vibration issues. I'll let you know when I get back home. And I did mark the flywheel and pressure before I took them off just in case

Just thought I would do an update, the clutch is still feeling good with no vibrations after about 2500 miles since I put it in. So if your looking for a budget friendly clutch set for a stock setup I would consider going with the luk set, I will update if I run into any other issues otherwise probably won't update this.

I have the Luk 04173 set and no problems here.

ETA: at least, no problems with the clutch. The remote bleeder, different story!

Which remote bleeder did you go with? I decided against using one.

I ordered the kit from Speedway Motors. As designed, it forces the end of the hose where it goes into the fitting against the top of the TT tunnel, causing a bend in the hose (see red circle in pic).



I added a 90º -3AN swivel fitting, like this to redirect the hose so it doesn't bash against the TT tunnel.

ETA: I added the 90º fitting after the fact. I wasn't comfortable with the hose bend, so I dropped the drivetrain and added the fitting, for peace of mind.

That sucks, how far back together did you get before you realized there was a problem?
