so i bought an XTD clutch off ebay(maybe my first problem).. i bought the stage 2 kit with 8 pound flywheel. me and my friend put the clutch in lastnight, and everything went fine. we tourqed everything to spec, and made sure everything was installed correctly and took our time with things. so we start the car, and the clutch works fine it seems...car goes in gear fine, and the clutch releases and the car moves forward just like it should.. sounds good right?? ...
the problem is that the car runs ROUGH, there is a bad vibration once the car gets up around 2000 rpm, and keeps vibrating all the way up. it does this in gear and out of gear. it seems as though something must be out of blalance???
also when relasing the pedal when the car is in 1st to start moving, the clutch kind of chatters, and doesn't engage smoothly. i don't know if this is the same vibration problem.. or something else.

anyone have any suggestions on this??? anyting you can think of that i might be able to do to fix it?? or if it may be some other problem i'm just not thinking of..

thanks

 

ohh and if you were wondering.. the car is a 95 teg, motor is a B20/vtec. and tranny is a 92 LS cable tranny, with the hasport hydro adapter. same thing that was in it before the clutch/flywheels replacement. there never was a problem before, other then the clutch disk was worn out...

 

Even when the clutch is disengaged, the entire assembly except the disk itself is spinning with the engine because it all bolts up to the flywheel. SO... I would say you're on the right track with the vibration thing, meaning there must be something in the rotating assembly that is not centered. Your choices are flyhweel or pressure plate, and to a lesser extent, the clutch disk itself (since it shouldn't be spinning when not engaged)...

 

yeah exactly..
i was kinda hoping there was something stupid that i might have been missing. but it only makes sense that it's something to do with the new parts that i put in. i guess it's time to take it back out... let's hope the guy goes good with warranty.
