So this has been a problem for a long time in my 242, but the car has also been sitting for a long time. I'm now contemplating new clutch/trans options and I want to see if anyone else is on the same page as I am.
I'm running the JVAB flywheel/Saab clutch package he sold a while back. It's well known (there's literally discussion right now in another thread) that you're supposed to stack washers under the pressure plate to get the spacing right for the clutch disk. Whatever. I did it, didn't like it, but it worked. All the washers were the same, etc.
Here's the problem. The car has always had a shake at 3k rpm. Doesn't matter what gear, at 3k, it shakes like hell. We're talking about after having driven it for a long time I'm worried if I don't fix it stuffs gonna break. Has anyone else had similar problems? This was not an issue before the t5 swap, the engine was great before then. I always assumed it was the clutch and the sketchy washers. I'm considering going to a yoshifab clutch/fw but I don't want to drop serious $$ on it if that won't fix the issue. Recently a guy messaged me on IG complaining about a similar deal.
What do you guys think? Discuss.
