Progress  :laugh:

Dont know how you managed to under tighten those bolts  :slap:

ChazGTI:
All Sorted! Can't believe it was that.

Can't look over the basics!
Not sure how I managed to under tighten them that badly, but then again I didn't have a torque wrench that fitted the 12 point socket so I had to improvise.
Lesson learned!

Thank you all for the fantastic help and suggestions  :happy2:

Great news. Hope they're tight enough now, big of thread lock is normally a good idea

Tested the clutch and now the PP stays still like it should. Gonna put everything back together and HOPEFULLY all will be good.

Yep used some loctite blue!

Man, the difference in a new clutch and flywheel after the state mine were in is so bloody nice!
