Yeah i hadn't planned on doing the clutch but im sure i will after the mounts. Especially if it doesn't fix the problem. I prefer the heavier pedal feel anywy.

Seems like it would have to be. Unless you have the wrong counterweight on. That would be bad.

Wrong counterweight isn't something you generally would feel. It just silently destroys all your bearings...

I second that! We all knew how I drove my car with my previous motor. . It was all fine till I blew a coolant seal and found this upon disassembly.

I had a S5 front weight in my motor, ran that way for ~5 years

Waiting on motor mounts. Once those come in I'll probably have them installed in about 3 weeks because im not going to have time to do it right away. Hopefully that will fix my problem.

Im really read to get rid of my power steering. Its probably all leaked out any way and makes a terrible noise...
