I have a loud thumping and vibration when i go 65mph and above. I think that it would be the driveshaft because i have had loose mounting bushing and a big thumping because of that but i fixed that and i now have it at higher speeds. Could a bad carrier bearing be the issue?

Another question is i installed at ACT2600 clutch with 5 puck race disc. I am not sure the clutch disc is engaging correctly because when i am leaving out the clutch the car begins to jerk and make a terrible thumping noise. I have been driving DSM's for the past 6 years and i never had this problem before, its just seems not to be engagin correctly. the flywheel was stepped at the correct height for the ACt clutches. Is there a fix?

Have you dissassembled your driveshaft? If so.. it is important to reassemble the sections in the correct orientation to one another as the unit is balanced as a whole.
