Went to get my new billet steel 50oz 157 tooth flywheel and spec stage one clutch put in today. Not a complete rip off $250 for labor. Until the guy from the shop calls me and says that my flywheel is rubbing my starter....
I call the Mustang Depot (where i purchased the flywheel) and asked them WTF!!! The add said "just bolt it on and go" He calls back and says that in some mustangs the starter needs to be backspaced and that should work.
The guy from the shop didn't recomend it but did it anyways.
Well when he gets done and test drives the car he said that it vibrates real bad, and it"s because of the flyw. Throwing everything out of ballance. and to resurface my old one and re-install it would run me another $250. I decided to drive it home and see how my cash flow looked. Upset ..
Well on the way home my car shook like all hell and i could hardly even shift gears. even when i double clutched it, it felt like i was going to break the gear shifter. I'm totally screwed here, has anyone ever had this happen? What was the problem? I just turned a $250 day into $500 just because i wanted to buy upgraded parts.
Also, the clutch wants to grab about 1mm off the floor board. I thought 88 stangs were self adjusting.
Thanks for any reply's and knowledge.
