"lube.... uh huh huh huh huh huh"
I think the solution for this is to get some rally flocking and some adhesive then sprinkle it on just enough to where the noise goes away and you dont create a gap. I'm gonna try this out and report back (after i find some)
i bought mine with high mileage and it ate bearings shortly after i bought. The rest is modding history. I'm on clutch 3.
1 couldnt take the moar powaaaa i was making with the new build
2 never really broke in. The clutch shudder was horrific
3.is great. Ended up with ACT stage 2.

Didn't read the first post but I would say some Yoga, jogging and a little wight training should take care of it. Possibly a healthier diet too.

It's not the worst, but it sucks if you mess up the throw out bearing or mess up the install somehow. To me its worth the 700ish bucks to have somebody do it correctly. I'd do way more stuff myself if i had another car to commute in. One day....

not sure about your build, but my exedy oem replacement got smoked quickly with no launching at around 300whp. 3rd/4th/5th gear pulls would slip
The Exedy stage 2 had the worst shudder/chatter ever even on a stock flywheel.
The ACT stage 2 broke in nicely and holds no prob.

never resurfaced. It didnt have many miles on it. I never got CEL or anything. I just figured since it was burned from the slippage I might as well just replace it with an OEM while i had it open for the clutch. It's one of those "while its open you might as well do........" opportunities.

clutch shutter is for sloppy drivers! LOL! Seriously though. Mine got loud but no problems with shutter. just a stage 1 hd though.
