    t5 input shaft shims

    Hello friends , while i'm working on clutch i 've noticed an excessive move from input shaft . Investigate a little and found that can be a source of vibration . Was long time , and try balance axle , u joint , and whatever i can put my nose . Follow a video tutorial and try to shim the input shaft correctly . now is very firm , but rotate free. 
    Well , today after winter maintenance , clutch repair and shims... take first ride and seems going really much better . 
    Next week will take a longer ride and test at same rpm that gives me virbration and see . For now seems disappeard . 
    Soo happy !
    Buy for now !

    It’s good to see that you can get out with your car, we are snowed in big time here in Canada

    That's great to hear Alessandro.

    Thinking about where you live, Modena-Italy area, if you snap any photos of your riding areas there in Italy I'd love for you to have a thread here that you could post them to.  I'm sure many of your drives pass by really scenic views.

    1968 T-code Coupe with a 302.  Nice car, no show stopper for sure, but I like it.
