1/2 way through the Flex Damper replacement now. I ran mine periodically for 6 months before it completely gave up the ghost. However, the rattle, rattle, rattle at stop lights was quite embarrassing.
If you have the Horrible Rattle, Rattle, Rattle at idle but seems ok when driving and looking in the flywheel inspection hole finding bits of Rubber Dust or chunks and excessive vibration you can bet your last $1,200 it's the Flex Damper.
Once inside the guts of the bell housing, everything except the Damper was in good shape.
Hopefully, someone here can answer this question quite soon. What to I use as alignment marks on the Damper & Flywheel when reassembling?
A friend did this same job and it took him Four tries of trial & error until all 9 bolts fit. I really don't want to go through installation four times if I don't have to.
