617/manual transmission vibrations FIXED

My rear flex disk was on its last legs when I was doing my engine conversion and I finally got around to replacing it. The front disk was almost new so I did not replace it.

Previously I had fairly severe vibrations at low RPMs in third, and some vibrations in 4th. The new flex disk has cleared these vibrations up by about 90%. It is still not as smooth as my 240D was, but this could be due to the inherent vibrations from a 5 cylinder engine. I hope the fix is this easy for the others with this vibration problem.
