Trusted DSM specialist north of LA

[alIan]

Hey all, I've been having trouble with AAMCO dealing with the two new clutches they've put in been grinding (they say it's chatter), and have 3 months left on my warranty. However, no matter what they do, including replacing the clutch, the problem always comes back. I'm looking for an outside opinion as to the cause of the problem, a DSM specialist in the Thousand Oaks area (about 45min north of LA) of southern CA... does anybody have any recommendations? If they cant fix it i would like them to install an ACT for me, and my exhaust as well...

Thanks ahead of time
Ian

I dont live in Cali so I can't help you there, but those guys probably didnt machine the flywheel correctly. I had my flywheel machined by a reputable rebuild shop and they F'ed it up 3 times. Problem was they didn't know jack about DSM's. What really sucks is I put the clutch and tranny back in each time. 3 times in one day, what a biooottcchh!! Go to RRE's site and print the directions and give them to AAMCO.

Or, you're fifty easy, convenient freeway miles from RRE, just go to their shop.

flywheel was my first guess also. Aamco knows shit about eclipses, and if i could take back the freekin rebuild i had them do, i would do it in an instant. However, i had them replace the clutch assy. with an entirely new one under warranty, and i payed them to put a 100% brand new from the factory flywheel in second time around, since they dont even do the ####ing machining themselves (my old one had been cut once), and didnt trust their own machine shop with a flywheel like the eclipses (with those ledges, they said, stupid ####s). Basically i'm ready to pay for my mistakes now and have another flywheel put in and get an ACT if i need to right away, and forget about aamco, warranty or not.

Thanks for the advice on RRE's location, i didnt know they were an hour away from me...
