Clutch/flywheel advice.

I wouldn't think that a bolt would leak unless the threads got facked during a flywheel install or something but maybe it is still finding a way through.

They were always wet before each time I've taken them out. This time I only had 1 wet one, I don't recall fubaring any hardware, all came out clean.

Clean it and r&r I guess

Some teflon tape would probably help. Always solves fuel leakes on carb rails.

Stay away from lightweight flywheels unless you enjoy twitchy clutch engagement and chugging at low speeds.

Use a heavy flywheel for drag racing and regular street use. Some people actually add weight to their flywheel for certain stock-type drag classes. It makes sense when you consider that it is used to STORE energy, which is a good thing when you're trying to move a relatively large amount of weight with an engine that doesn't make a lot of power.

It helps for the first 60ft, which is where all the time is at.

I got another stock one from az for $35, so can't beat that. My stocker had some Heat cracks. Screw that.

My brother's windsor has a light aluminum wheel on it, and it flat out sucks to have to rember to rev it up 2-3x higher than you would normally from a red light. He never thought it was an issue though, so when you hear one way or another, remember that it is subjective bases on preference.

I like to idle around so a lightweight wheel would more then likely ruin that.

I'm the same way. I had a lumpy cam in mine in highschool, and would idle around never throwing a single rev. It wasnt fast then or by today's standards, but it was intimidating as hell rolling through a parking lot.

The idle if my regal and its appearance almost always gets a comment about how quick it must be to which I reply "its a gutless turd, the nitrous helps but its still slow"

[91CoupeMike]

Got it together.

What makes the drive shaft seem too long? It's all pushed up against the tail shaft seal and it's a real pain in the ass to get off and on. I don't remember ever having this issue before.

Ford racing alum DS stock t5 ?

The car is lowered therefore the distance between the trans and diff is shorter. This is assuming your rear end is on jackstands and the weight if the vehicle is on the differential.

It was actually hanging, the jack stands were under the sub frame.

[shumpertdavid]

Well then I have no idea why.......

Put the car's weight back on the wheels/rear axle and check it again. Same DS you took off? Did you let the motor hang down while the transmission was out and tear up the motor mounts?

Solid motor mounts, and yes I let it hang. Same drive shaft for the last 3 years, I have had this issue the last 2 times, it started when I lowered the car, something isn't right.

I think that's when it started, when I blew 3rd gear is when I noticed this issue.

It's alsmot like its too long, it doesn't slide into the transmission enough to clear the pinion nut. That was with the old seal with out the seal extension/fluid catch. Now it's all pushed up against the seal extension and makes a squeaky noise as the driveshaft rubs it.
