Also, these past 2 weeks or so I've been having issues with my starter. Sometimes it does nothing when I press start other times it starts right up. Not sure if this is related.

Those that said it prop shaft bolt are correct. Not only did one fall out, but one was about halfway out and another one is completely gone. I retightened the five and ordered another one.

Can anyone with a manual mind checking what the proper torque to use for those guys. Though not sure how I can torque it as all I could fit was an L type allen wrench.

Again, thanks everyone for the help. Pointed me straight to the problem.

They should be torqued to 24 lbf-ft and the manual also says to replace them, not sure how important that is though.

No problem, as for reaching them with a torque wrench you should get a set of those ball head allen sockets.
These might be a bit long but you get the idea http://www.harborfreight.com/7-pc-38...set-67888.html
