one of these things is not like the others.....
 Tell me what's wrong in that picture.......... Here's the reason Jon's GLi transaxle was making that horrendous noise. All six of the flywheel to crank bolts were loose, and I mean REALLY loose. One was bent so bad I had to straighten it with an air hammer just to get it to release from the recess pocket. The crank PTO end was so hammered from the loose flywheel that it took near two hours for Pete and I to remove the flywheel from the motor once the bolts were out due to a large stress riser on the hub-centric. It will need to be machined down for a new FW to fit properly. The clutch and flywheel are completely toast. The one hole in the crank PTO that had the bent bolt has terrible threads and is going to require some massaging to get back to normal. This is what happens when you don't use a torque wrench and thread locker on these bolts. Also a big reason why you don't reuse flywheel fasteners....the threads stretch. Some more pics of the near-catastrophic failure in my gallery....

Damn Adam. Talk about ghetto rigged. Someone must have had absolutely no clue what they were doing when that thing went onboard.

Looks fine to me. Nothing a little thread magic can't fix!

it's hard to say since he doesn't know when the work was done... but on a good note i'm glad it was only bolts and flywheel and not a tranny gear issue
