I just got a new RXT, Steel flywheel, TOB, Pilot bearing and TOB retainer sleeve installed.
I am noticing three problems with this new setup.
1) This RXT is noisy as hell during engagement (most noticeably during downshifting). Best way I can describe the sound is like a bad case of diarrhea - just a lot of loose sounding stuff going on in there. I will try and take a video of it and post later so you can judge for yourself.
Other than engagement, the clutch does not make noise.
2) Under HARD acceleration, 2nd and MOSTLY 3rd gear I get a bad vibration in the car. If I accelerate normally this is not an issue.
3) While the clutch IS engaged, I hear what sounds like the beginning of TOB failure. As soon as I DISengage the clutch, the noise goes away. Clutch as about 530 miles on it so I can't beleive the TOB would be failing already - especially since I have followed break in advice and for most part been granny'ing it.
I should note that prior to this clutch kit install, I was not having any of these issues.
Any advice would be much appreciated!
