Car Idling rough after clutch install

Everything looks like it's connected. Some wires are really hard to reach with hoses and stuff in the way. I can see three wires on the transmission, one looks like a ground. All are on there. One thing I have noticed since I got the car back is that everytime I get out of the car, I get a big shock when I touch the door to close it.

Everything looks connected on mine as well. Yeah I had to take the intake off, so I did disconnect the MAF, but I reconnected it just like it was. I figured if it was bad, the car would not run, but I could be wrong. On your car shocking you, there is a ground on the tranny that they might of forgot to hook up.

So I took out my clutch again and I took off the flywheel. I noticed something this time I never noticed before. I feel like such an idiot. I noticed a hole on the flywheel and the crank witch looks like the play to line up the flywheel to the engine. There is no pin in it or nothing, but it looks like I should mark that and line it up to that hole, since there would be 4 different setting it could be. So I am going to make sure my flywheel that I had surfaced is still ok and then put it back together. Is there supposed to be a pin on the engine? Do you think my flywheel and clutch is still ok? I probably have put 100 miles on my car since the install. Thanks.

well if the machine shop machined your flywheel and left a dowel pin out (they take them out when they machine it), then it can possibly throw the flywheel slightly out of balance and cause vibration, but not much...

So I took off the tranny again and had the flywheel checked. I also made sure I had the flywheel lined up correctly. Put everything back together and started it up and it started vibrating again at 1k rpms. It kinda does it at 700rpm but hardly noticeable at all. Now I am really confused. I don't know if it is something with the pressure plate being out of balance or something on the engine not working properly. Any ideas. I am desperate now....

well you can damage an input shaft bearing and put it out of balance, but that is highly uncommon...have you checked the condition of your tranny mount or any other mounts btw?

Well I had the flywheel checked by a machine shop and he found a run in it. I had him resurface it and balance it and the car runs like a champ now. He said maxima flywheels aren't the easiest to turn. Just wanted to fill you on what happend. Thanks for all your help.

Sorry to hijack thread, but my clutch(SPEC stage 1) and flywheel(Fidanza) were just replaced today and my car won't start(99 SE 5spd). The mechanic thinks it's that my Crank shaft position sensor isn't long enough. He ordered one that's an 1/8 inch longer and will put it in tomorrow. IS that actually what's making it not start? If it's not, I need to let him know early tomorrow if it's not gonna work cause I don't wanna pay for something that's not gonna get the job done... Again sorry for the thread jack, but this site is being mean to me lately...

Sorry again, But this site isn't letting me start my own thread so I've gotta try and hijack and bump this thread. SORRY! I'm very desperate for some information!! Fidanzas site says that my sensor needs to be pushed in, or to shim the flywheel...
