well first off...i thought flex disks only came on autos?
but if they come on manual trannys too, heres what happened to me
my assumption is that when the car is in motion, the flex disk has angular momentum, which keeps it running smooth. however, once u slow down, and slow down that momentum, the disk becomes a lil more "off" if u will. im not sure about braking, but i kno that when i stopped, the entire car would shake (flex disk directly under shifter). the way my mechanic stated the job of the flex disk is as follows: it buffers the power from the engin onto the tranny. so if the disk is about to die, it'll vibrate more and more.
take my advice, switch out the flex disk if u are uncertain (be away that engine shaking is also due to engine mounts). i drove on the broken disk for all but 15 min, and shards of rubber crap got stuck in very very very bad places...took the poor guy 3 weeks to take out. an ounce of protection will bring a pound of cure...
thats my 2 cents
