Well Ive been trying to find another 6 bolt long block for a swap but I have had no luck so far.

After thinking over it for awhile im curious towards what else can cause these symptoms:

Car Dies on hard left turns

Clanking over 2500 rpm coming from drivers side behind the fire wall

Car has rpms drop when clutch is pushed it but the car doesn't die unless I push the clutch in at higher speeds 30mph+



Now At first I believed it to be crankwalk due to all the little problems and the clanking off of the drivers side but could a bad clutch fork or TOB do the same thing? Or can my pressure plate cause this as well?

I have an ACT2100 6 puck unsprung with a Fidanza lightened Flywheel on a stock block with arp studs that has 162k miles.

Im really hoping I made the mistake most people with 2gs did and just jumped to crankwalk because the 6 bolt I was in the process of buying im not so sure if its being sold anymore.


Thanks As Usual

Check your crankshaft endplay if your worried about crankwalk.

If you dont have a dial indicator you can also gently pry the crank outwords and use feeler gauges behind it to measure the end play.

Yet another way is to use calipers. AWD Crankwalk Check

Good luck and we can work it out from there :).
