when i let out the clutch on a hot day you can feel the whole car shake until the clutch is fully engaged. the clutch was replaced a few months ago. so im going to pulll out the flywheel and machine it.

OK, I don't want to sound like a d**k, but you should've machined the flywheel flat when you did the clutch, it's part of the deal.

With the hydraulics, you can take as much as 40 thou off the flywheel and never notice a hint of difference. HOWEVER, i'd ensure you have the good heavy flywheel. I know a lot of people on here seem to think the "lightweight" 1pc flywheel is ideal. I pray that they keep their feet next time they overheat the clutch, cuz when that sucker gets too hot at 5k its coming through the floor.
