a misfire in one cylinder will do that , sounds exactly like that. The car must have been running poorly though, not just sounding differently. One or more bad coils could do it, or a bad injector, might as well check your sparkplugs while you are in there.

Misfires do sound like a boxer engine. On stock ecu or no? If yes any cel's?
I wouldn't drive it anywhere until you figure it out. Doesn't sound good though.

i was "told" it was a stage 3 clutch but could not tell you what brand...it feels like a stage clutch and i have never had any slippage problems out of it...
