i put in a JWT clutch and flywheel combo a few months ago. i had a problem when i installed it, 2 of the bolts holding the clutch to the flywheel stipped out of the aluminum. i got them in using the few threads that were left intact but i couldnt torque them down. ever since i installed it, i get some hesitation when i shift at high boost runs, say if i go WOT and shift from 4th to 5th, it studders 4 to 5 times before it takes off. im worried that the bolts are loose and not letting the clutch grip the flywheel. surely the JWT clutch isnt toast, im running less than 400hp. now i dont know what to do, wither buy a new clutch and flywheel, or just put the stock fly back on. guess i wont know until i take it apart.

i put about 35000 mile on the stock flywheel, if i put it back on should i get it resurfaced?

 

That really sounds like a poor install.

I would pony up the money to get the whole thing uninstalled, re-tap the threads, and reinstall if the clutch+FW are still in good shape. That's really the only answer IMO

 

Like said above take it apart and figure out what the problem is don't let it get worse.

 

yeah it was a poor install, ive installed everything on my car, vortech, turbo, brakes, suspension, everything worked out fine, the clutch job didnt. it sucks *** to be exact. i was stuck once the threads stripped, i should have had inserts placed to lock the bolts down but like a DA i didnt. now im gonna have to get it fixed by sharif. hopefully the clutch is ok and i can reuse it.
