[QUOTE="Swapfox2145, post: 1424849, member: 22064"] Thanks man tried to clean it up the best I could. I replaced the rear main seal after I put the block plate back on before I did the flywheel just didn't get a pic of it. I also double triple checked everything and the disk is in the correct position the disk has a fw side marking so I took my time to make sure it was all good also exedy includes a guide on how the pressure palte fingers should be straight after install not bent in or out and those fingers are nice and straight and everything is aligned perfect the alignment tool comes right out and goes in well. I am just gonna be replacing my flywheel as a rule from now on you can see the bend they caused in my flywheel from all the heat marks on one side of it rubbing that coincides with the clutch disk wear and pressure plate. I used the bread to take out the pilot bearing and a tight fitting extension and used the claw hammer on that old extension lol so that was the only thing it was used for and it worked great got the old pilot bearing out and new one went in easily no grease to clean up or anything. Essentially I used the bread to create pressure to pop the pilot bearing out. Thanks alot man after seeing my flywheel and their install period I can see why I was having issues constantly with their install. Did the rear main seal after the spacer before the flywheel just didn't get another pic. My oil pan didn't seem to be leaking, Im not sure where the oil came from but I really don't notice to much oil disappearing out of the car I get oil changes every 3000 miles and no weird smoke or anything. I am just surprised that they didn't even bother to clean anything up they literally just did the bare minimum and kept trying to troubleshoot the issues with more crappy clutch kits. Today if the weather clears up I am gonna get back under there and get the tranny in position but other then that i am hoping my vibration is gone as the flywheel was tore up and with everything new it should theoretically work so once I get the tranny back in and drive it around I will report back and hopefully everything is good! *EDIT* GOT THE TRANNY BACK IN!!!!! It went in so smooth it was like butter no issues what so ever I let it sag a tad after I got some of the bolts started and got my top bolts in. Bolted up my transmission crossmember and put my wiring harness back on. At that point rain started coming in under the car so I wrapped it up for the night.
