Wow the wood block behind the diff is a wonderful tip

[@war2oothshifty536]

ACT videos need more views... You guys are amazing...

[@AlexTheGrumpyOne]

Well constructed video guys! Really helpful. Keep it up

[@mateocarlos2674]

Excellent video. Full quality process. A+

[@scrapin240]

Fantastic video! Thanks for taking the time to make it!

[@robroy9185]

Alot more to it then I thought..better let the pro's do it..Thanks guys.

[@davidleal923]

Thanks for the video! The main thing I’ve been concerned about is the alignment of the PPF. The service manual makes a big deal about proper alignment. Is it not that big of deal?

[@JCYoo]

Very helpful. Thanks for sharing.

[@Zachdidntdoit]

When you say to make markings on the drive shaft, what exactly are we marking? Doing a clutch job tomorrow and don’t want to mess up too badly.

[@Nasonix2]

The flywheel bolts are 71-75ftlbs.. not 85?! :/
Anyways, i never put an alignment mark on the driveshaft. Is thay really necessary? The driveshaft is balanced by the manufacturer by it self separate from anything else.. would be great to know why the alignment mark is needed.. thanks

[@raineschweikert]

It’s necessary to mark the yokes to match it up otherwise you’ll get vibrations that over time ruin the driveshaft and can even destroy the engine.

[@Nasonix2]

Dont forget the wood block guys. Not fun having the diff swing down and knock your ass out haha

[@vlenhoff]

I had my clutch and flywheel replaced. After the break-in period, it feels like the clutch is not fully disengaging.

[@BeeSoe1]

did you bleed the clutch properly?

[@vlenhoff]

@@AdvancedClutchTechnology Thanks, I will!

[@vlenhoff]

@@BeeSoe1 Yes, two different shops bled it several times.
