But how could that have gotten on the bolts? I replaced it all myself, the only thing I could think is it was already in the holes on output disc on the pumpkin or in the bolt holes on the DSS...

Exact same thing happened to me, except a VAC built quafie. Although there was some sort of gray grease on the bolts, not sure how it got there though. I re-torqued/loctited both axles and check...

Has anyone use used a MightyVac (Vacuum pump) on these cars? That is how I bled mine, but i am having issues with the clutch not disengaging fully. The engagement point isn't all the way on the...

Right, I installed the DEFIV lockdown, DSS axles, Spec Clutch, and Quafie all at once.

As someone said I do have the DEFIV lockdown with CNC'd metal bushings that may be transmitting more noise. The differential was built by VAC and I feel that they know what they are doing. G.I.Joe...

Starting to look like it is the nature of the beast. I have solid diff mounts but stock subframe. I posted on the other forum and a couple users say they get the same thing with their Quafies. Also...

Well VAC advertises "-Includes completely new Hardware / Gaskets / Shims, Seals, Crush Rings and all labor" so I assume they are all new.

After installing my VAC built Quafie last weekend, I have a slight high pitched whine when under light decel (engine braking in 6th at 70mph) or slight accel (cruise control on the interstate). It...

I am going to the dragstrip on the 23rd. I will try and get someone to record the run.

Well I was by no means happy. The issue was that the SPEC TO bearing was too thick or tall causing the TO bearing to always be riding the PP fingers and never fully disengaging. Using the stock TO...

What was wrong with the old disc?

Here are some pictures from my install this past weekend. I had to do the tranny removal a second time last night because the SPEC TO bearing wouldn't let the clutch fully engage. So I had to put...

I used my original stock one and the SPEC kit did not come with a fork. Also there was a slight almost grinding feel when the SPEC TO bearing would first engage and I am thinking this is because the...

So I replaced the SPEC TO bearing with the stock TO bearing and the engagement is in the middle of pedal travel now. Looking forward to breaking it in and getting it dyno'd shortly. Here are some...

Stock TO bearing fixed it. Ill post more info tomorrow.

SPEC has confirmed that I can use the stock TO bearing with the clutch. So I think I will swap that out tonight when I get home (will be a late night......) and hope for the best. Also I will be...

That is what I am worried about, the clutch engagement moving farther up as mine is at the very top of the pedal travel. They told me as it breaks in it should get better... but I am thinking it...

I just contacted SPEC, they told me to put more miles on it and see it the engagement gets better. I also shared this thread with them to show them the pictures I took. Hoping to get this resolved...

So I just finished installing my Spec 2+ non-sac clutch and steel SMFW. The clutch engages at the top of the pedal extension. It seems the clutch is not fully engaging though because if I give it...

Tried to rep you, but says I have repped you too much lately haha. Good DIY!

Please! And pictures would be nice, indicating where you are measuring from.

IIRC the kit only comes with PP to FW bolts and you will need PP to engine bolts, correct me if I am wrong.

Also can you use the below tool to remove the pilot bearing carrier? Also how do you...

Yea I already have a steel SMFW along with a Spec 2+, its going in during March.

Thanks for the reply.

Just an update, got meth detection working right. I am seeing about 22-23 psi right now. The stock clutch it holding surprisingly, but the DMFW is throwing misfires at...
