rtv on flywheel bolts

[jtb19nh]

I replaced my clutch and flywheel last fall, however i did not use any rtv on the flywheel bolts. is this going to be a problem??? I need to take out my tranny again so it wouldent be a huge deal to do it but i really dont want to take the clutch out again if i dont have to....

not trying to hijack but desparate for help.....

i recently swapped my t5 out for another and a resurfaced flywheel. i now have a vibration. it was really bad but after turning the d/s , it is better but still there. i have done alot of reading and i am afraid its the flywheel. could it be?

i used blue loctite on the flywheel bolts....if it is causing the vibration, could it loosen those bolts and come off??? am i doing damage by driving it...should i be driving it?

I wouldn't think loctite would weigh enough to cause a vibration. I've never used any on the flywheel bolts and never had an issue.

fiveoho are you sure the flywheel is properly balanced? if your running a stock balancer (50 oz) make sure that the flywheel is also 50oz.

im afraid its not. if the car is in neutral or the clutch is depressed while giving throttle and you get vibration, flywheel?

i just had it resurfaced b4 it was put in......bad flywheel? bad machine shop?
