Hey guys, I own an 01 LSB with 144k on it, and I recently ordered the clutch kit from TMS which included the OEM clutch, PP, and throwout bearing.
Other than the car slipping, the car ran fine.
I got the clutch replaced by the head mechanic of my local BMW at his house, he does a lot of work on the side.
After he was done, he called me and said it went good, but while test driving it he felt a vibration, which he noted seemed like a driveshaft vibration? I thought this was weird, considering I had no vibration beforehand. I asked him about my flywheel, which he said looked great, just had some burn spots on it.
As I picked my baby up and headed home, I noticed the vibration he was talking about. It's only between 1k-2k (roughly) and if I rev it up while in neutral (moving or standing still) the motor sounds much louder. At first I was thinking it may have been an exhaust leak; maybe he didn't bolt the manifold back up or something.
There are no CEL's.
I work at a dealership, and some of the guys here said it seems off-balance, most likely the flywheel.
With my wallet in mind, I'm hoping it's only the manifold, or the motor or transmission mounts, but with my baby at heart, I'm open to all possibilities.
If there are any things I forgot to touch on please ask.
(I just picked it up yesterday, and haven't gotten a chance to ask the BMW mechanic yet, I am going to ask him to look at it for free to determine if it was a problem he created.)
