Did you change your flywheel? Maybe you got the wrong balance flywheel on there -------------------- R.I.P.

Make certain it was for your year car and that it is the correct balance. If it is the wrong balance flywheel it will feel much like a car with a bad harmonic balancer. Have them compare your old one to one they gave you and see if the part #'s match up if it is still at the store or machine shop. -------------------- R.I.P.

Did the pressure plate seat on the dowels ok? Is the exhaust clear of the body in all areas? Did the driveshaft appear to be in good shape? U-joints look alright? -------------------- R.I.P.

Did the bearing retainer look ok... -------------------- R.I.P.

A vibration isn't something I would personally want to drive with. Who knows what its from and what further damage may occur. It's better to figure it out before you drive too much. -------------------- R.I.P.
