I've not run across accounts of failures here in the last two years, but perhaps I missed them.

Changing to the DMD won't help you track it down unless that stock one is the problem and that appears unlikely, given that you "think its the clutch". If the problem isn't the crank pulley you may get rid of the vibration but you will have fixed the symptom and left the problem to possibly get worse. I'm not saying don't do that, just that remember you've still got a possible problem.

The main reason im willing the get this part is, I always wanted it, and its cheap.



I had a suspicion that was part of the underlying reason. Honey, the cars not running right I'm going to have to do that 3L swap.
