well, not sure of all the symptoms, but i can give you my symptoms, which i am told are "classic symptoms". I have a rough idle, not the truck is running rough, but kind of shakes at idle. If i rev it to 1000 rpms, it gets worse, but anything above 1000, like 1100 or more, it goes away.

I put the Valeo kit on my truck this summer, and like it a lot. Haven't had any issues.
As for the symptoms, it rattles like crazy at idle, as was said. Sounds like your whole truck is going to fall apart.
The Valeo kit I got was from dialaclutch.com and had everything, bolts, alignment tool, and bearing. It went together easily.

Mike, thanks for the reply, I don't have much of a issue at idle, however in 1st or 2nd "Ihave a manuel tranny" and that's where I get a bad shake in the front end. Did you get your's fixed right away??

No. I put up with the noise and drove it for about 10k more miles. Then it finally started driving me nuts. First and second were hard to get into. So I ordered my new clutch. Took me about 3 hours to do the whole job myself. Also, I put a new rear main seal in at the same time, mine had a small leak. It was worth it, since I was already right there with the flywheel off. And because I am ****, I did all three u-joints and the carrier bearing while I was there too. Now I have an all new driveline. Kinda.
I pull a 48' Featherlite enclosed trailer with my race truck in it all over the place. I have notice no performance gains or losses with the new clutch.

Just had my Dual mass go out on my truck. No warning signs. Was pulling a trailer up a pass and the flywheel just started slipping. No springs broke. Went back in with a 13" Valeo solid flywheel and clutch set. The stock was only 12" Was half the cost of a new dual mass and alot better in my opinion.
