No noises that I can determine - I'd never hear it over the other noises, TBH. It shifts perfectly smooth, better than the old DMF.
As for the flywheel bolts - can't comment with any accuracy, but I personally wouldn't worry about it.

I looked at my old Valeo clutch more before throwing it away and unreal. This thing is MAXIMUM 12yr old and according to my car records I found it had around 70k on it and look at its condition. It was slipping terribly. I see people use abd have no complaints after install but any others still using their Valeo setup 5+ yr ??? How's it holding up ???

They were in for like 5 minutes and they feel fine at 66ftlb, am I worried over nothing?
I'm running a 1x piece 14lb flywheel and stage 1x fx ebay clutch.. I have ABSOLUTELY no chatter or transmission noises what so ever...and that Valeo fried clutch kit I'd removed also didnt mske any odd noises either..
