Just installed my RST clutch and had the flywheel resurfaced. I didn't even think to have the machine shop check the balance of it after the resurface..... yes, I am an idiot.

So now that she's all back together, I have a vibration only in the steering wheel between 1500-2000 RPM, it's not a terrible vibration, but bad enough that you can see the wheel "vibrating". I have no doubt it's due to not balancing the flywheel.

Question is.... how much do I need to worry about this? Is it something that will cause greater issues down the road? Would I be okay to drive the thing for the summer and tear it back apart this coming fall? Or should I cease driving it now and do the dreaded re-tear down?

Thanks for the advice fellas.

I would end up tearing it down, but that's because I can't stand vibrations, and it would tick me off everytime I drove it.

An out of balance clutch can tear up main bearings....sucks but I'd fix it.
