Hello

I had a local indy replace the clutch and flywheel. I bought the Luk clutch kit and Luk flywheel as well.

I picked up the car and noticed a vibration, clutch pedal feel was good and car drove well.

I picked up the car yesterday and after a day of driving still hear and feel a bit of vibration and flywheel rattle when in the car. If I press the clutch, the rattle/vibration is gone. It feels like 1st to 2nd has a tiny grind now as well. On top of all of this today I parked in my garage, opened my drivers door and without touching any pedals turned off the car. I heard the same rattle that I used to hear before replacing the clutch/flywheel.

Is this normal? I try to do my own repairs but have never done a clutch/flywheel job so I am not sure what is normal and what isn't but I'm 100% certain what I described above isn't normal. Please let me know if I am just tripping out or if my concerns are real.

Also, when I picked up the car I heard and noticed a vibration and rattle (not related to flywheel/clutch) so we jacked up the car and the two bolts that are underneath the green arrows were not right. One was not tight at all and the other was missing and is still missing (ordered parts), we tightened the one that was there.

Anyone? Please confirm my insanity or tell me I'm right this is bothering me a lot

You need to use the process of elimination. First get the trans mounts straightened out. If the back of the trans is jumping around it will affect shift quality.

Both my 330i's did this. IIRC, the rattle you hear (when clutch isn't depressed) is normal for a DMFW.

If you have clutch depressed while turning off engine, there is zero noise...same DMFW characteristic with my cars.

I agree with Effthreeoh...double check the torque and proper positioning of your trans mounts, though.

That's strange. My friend has the same car, it's a 2006 330i and when he turns off his car (without touching any pedals) his car flywheel doesn't rattle AT ALL, like zero noise. When I turn my car off without touching the clutch pedal, I hear rattle.
