There's no deal haha, I think he's pretty upset/annoyed with me because I've 'made him wait 4 days' while I tried to figure this out on my own... but that's alright, I at least have the CT refund and the peace of mind that things are on there way to improving.

Turns out a guy I know who used to have a dsm will give me his in box act 2600 he never installed for 350$... so that's a steal, only 100-150$ more than sending my clutch to bully to be looked at... I'll get that as well considering i might as well do it now.

I guess as stated before, should I replace the flywheel with the ACT one vs machining it for a whole different clutch now all together?
