The problem I am having, which was occuring before I put in the jwt clutch and flywheel, is at times I have a real bad hard start. I'll start the car, it will turn over just fine, but right after start up, the rpm will dip down to circa 400. Also, sometimes if I let it out of gear and let it come to idle, it will also dip down to 400 rpm. If I do downshift or goin slowly around a turn, and the rpm do dip like I said, then the car is really hard to turn, considering the motor powers the power steering. It's a real pain in the buns. I first figured it was the extra vibrations from the motor mount inserts, but it doesnt seem anyone else is having this problem from the inserts. When the rpm dip, the whole engine shakes like crazy. I kind of figured it could be a problem with the catalytic converter or some sort. I know problems with a cat can cause stalling, etc. But the car never actually stalls out. Has anyone else ran into this problem? What did you do? What was the problem? Once again, it is not a problem with the jwt clutch and flywheel, because the problem was happening before and after the install.
Thanks in advance,

Also, check your battery terminals and make sure they're clean and on the posts nice and snug. People have had strange things happen due to things as simple as the ground wire on the battery not being connected/snug enough.
