Another update on my SMFW-conversion. It's mostly awesome, but I think the springs in the clutch might be a little sloppy already? Or maybe it's my mounts, I'm not entirely sure and I'm getting tired of chasing the bounciness/slop. I have now replaced my diff mounts (OEM), my trans mounts (OEM E46 M3), and engine mounts (Corteco IIRC, since OE seemed to go NLA). Only thing I can think of that's left is guibo and carrier bearing. Anybody have any input on this?

Also, my engagement point has been gradually moving up the pedal over the past few months. Purchased an adjustable slave pushrod from Rogue Engineering (which honestly should come stock on these cars, but don't the Germans just always know best?) to tune the engagement point back down. Hope the disc isn't gonna wear out prematurely, it's only been ~15k. I have been slipping it more than most of my other manual cars to work around the relentless judder I have been getting.
