I have had a vibration problem while letting off the gas letting the motor slow me down. It felt like the car was going to fall apart, shaking and all. Felt like a shudder.

Well i was replacing my clutch today because off the pressure plate not releasing right. When i took off the pressure plate out fell the pilot bearing. Think that is my problem with the vibration/shuddering?

What really sucks is that i have new ujoints, rebuilt t5 with t5z internals and the rear end has been reshimmed. That was all to try and get rid of this shudder and some other problems. Figures it was a $10 part that was doing it.

Also i just got the flywheel machine for $35. Is that reasonable?

Mine cost $45.

How the hell could the pilot bearing fall out? There isn't any damage, is there?

Yeah I'm surprised the pilot bearing actually fell out...I figured it would have been wear...not it being completly out...

I got my flywheel resurfaced for $25
