Ok so I've been chasing this damn vibration for a year now. Finally decided to rip the tranny back out after the balance shaft elimination didn't fix anything. So I get the tranny out and rip the flywheel off, and I notice som marks on the side of it (1st pic). Then I notice its making marks in my FWD trannys bellhousing (2nd pic). weird I think, since I think this is the flywheel that I bolted from the engine and brought to the machine shop. Then I compare the FWD 7 bolt Fidanza Flywheel I just picked up from V8Killa, and I notice the weights or mounting surfaces stick out to the edge of the ring gear on my steel flywheel (3rd Pic) and on the aluminum one they don't go to the edge (4th pic). I'm pretty sure the aluminum one won't rub. But whats hapening here? did the shop give me back the wrong flywheel? Is something in the motor ####ed? Someone please help, I'm sorry for the shitty pics, I only had my phone with me.

Well, I just put the trans back in with a Fidanza flywheel in place of the factory 7 bolt steel one, And it runs smooth as glass, I don't know what the problem was, but it must have been improper flywheel installation or something wrong with the flywheel itself. Anyways I am SO happy to finally have fixed this thing. I've been working on it on and off for almost a year! I'd throw parts at it, and then get discouraged and let it sit, and pick it back up a couple months later!
