vibration after clutch change? help

[schtozo]

hi, i just changed my clutch along with crankshaft seal tranny seals z3 shifter and all bushings, guibo and csb. i removed the harmonic balancer too. is there a correct way to put back things together without the harmonic balancer? after first run i noticed a vibration coming from the front, what did i do wrong?

thanks

When does the vibration occur? Is it speed dependent or RPM dependent? Did you separate the two halves of the driveshaft when you had it apart?

pretty sure he seperated the two parts and didnt mark them

I did separate them and didnt mark them, vibration is speed related, i found another post on google from some other forum and i beleive my problem is same is his. I eliminated the harmonic balancer thus i put only the 3 bolts that come from the tranny through the guibo and through the driveshaft directly, i know epic fail!!!! I just need to put the other three bolts back there. So it would be 3 from tranny to guibo and 3 from driveshaft to guibo. I hope this will fix the vibration.

As long as the U joints are oriented in the same direction, you should be ok in that respect.
