Sorry not trying to be a jurk but I've done 100s of clutches front and rear wheel. However this is first time on rx8 and just wondering if the counter weight being more towards the center of the crank as opposed to stock towards the outside

as long as you are sure you got the correct counterweight you shouldnt be able to screw it up 😎

If you got a REW one it is a different weight and n profile. .....

Asong as you tightened it up properly there isn't much room for error.

6 pucks are notoriously grabby....but that shouldn't make it shake in neutral

It's a different part #.....they don't look that much different unless they are sitting side by side.

is it an ACT counterweight or a Mazda AT one?

idk it came with the clutch kit from jdk trust me I wanted to go with the act but I didn't have the 500 to 600$. I didn't get the cheapest one I could find but not the most expensive one either.
