I checked mine this afternoon whioe routing the new cable for the starter and found that the balancer is definitely bad...caput!!!. There is about 1/2-3/4 inch of rubber sticking out.
I was looking at the TD Performance fluid damper but it says external balance. What is the difference between external and internal balance dampers?
Also should I go with the stock balancer for 130.00 (Price for retail, I'm sure I can get it cheaper than that), or should I get one of the fluid type like TD performance or Streetdamper?
