Default Help me diagnose my drivetrain vibration

Alright this all started with a loud screeching popping noise from the TOB wobbling on the retainer. There was a slight vibration in the drivetrain, nothing too major. NOW I ordered a new bellhousing with the pressed in retainer for the STUPID t3650, new clutch fork, pivot ball, spec stg 1 clutch, pressure plate, TOB, and pilot bearing. I am also replacing the flywheel and rear main for good measure.

Now, it only vibrates under acceleration or deceleration if the car is in gear. If the trans is in neutral and coasting, the vibration goes away, now I can eliminate the drive shaft, and more than likely the rear end. I am hoping that its just the clutch slipping and grabbing on the flywheel to cause this. Does this sound abour right or what?

driveshaft is good, crawled under it on Monday and all the u-joints are snug, no yolks are busted, trans yolk has no play on the output shaft, pinion yolk is tight and no ply on the pinion/ring gear. The were no major dents or dings in it. I dont think its the driveshaft unles it just suddenly went unbalanced.
