[QUOTE="ALBundy, post: 646115, member: 15"] Can't remember exactly how much it cost but not an expensive part and was lucky to spot the part on Turnermotorsport. 1) Yup, the cause of clunking is not the transmission and hence I refurbish the drive shaft 'head'. However, I mentioned SMG transmission because of the way the gears are shifted. In a manual transmission, the clutch can be modulated to lessen the harshness of shifting where as on the Smg it's automated. As I said, setting to S5 or S6 will make it even louder. The same clunking sound is also prevalent on the R8, or any single clutch automated transmission. In my opinion it's not the LSD. I have driven e36 M3 Evo of which the e46 M3's LSD is derived from and there wasn't any clunking sound. 2) Once the valve gaps are adjusted, it will be like running in a new engine. It will feel tight and not so 'revvy', at least that is my experience before it goes back to normal, just like running in a new engine. Cheers:) [/QUOTE]
