S14 Driveshaft torque specs
Lately my car has had a lot of drivetrain chatter, and it's hard to get it moving sometimes. I recently got my clutch done and my friend suggested that maybe they didn't torque down the driveshaft bolts to the proper specs...so, anybody know where I can find the torque specs for all relevant bolts? And what size the bolts are? I've never actually looked at the driveshaft on my car, so, sorry I can't be more descriptive. That said any help or anything I need to know before I get under my car would be great. Thanks!

Re: S14 Driveshaft torque specs
Didn't touch the flywheel because the shop said it was ok. And I'm regretting that now. That shop was kind of questionable anyway, but I needed it done and they were the only people that could do it affordably and in time. Basically, when I've been driving it around a lot, I have to be really careful with the way I release the clutch when I take off from a stop. Because if I'm not, the drivetrain shudders like crazy until the clutch catches. And if I push the clutch back in to try to stop it from shuddering, it makes a loud popping noise. So maybe it's a combination of things?

ding ding ding..........I had the same problem when I put and act clutch on a stock flywheel with out re-surfacing it. MY stock fly wheel looked perfect, but I guess it wasnt. Give it a month and it will go away
J/k....ask the guys that did the work to take a ride in it.

Re: S14 Driveshaft torque specs
I don't know what the warranty is, but I'll ask them. I can't have them do any work though as I was living in Colorado at the time. It's been about three months since I've had it done, and I've noticed it before, but it's been really terrible lately. I didn't notice it immediately...only in the last month or so...it's really really bad going uphill haha...
