check for play in your universal joints, see if there is excessive movement in both the trans yoke, and pinion on the diff... then if all of the above are good... balance your tires

Exclamation ummm

ok i have checked the dif and the slip yoke the drive shaft has very little play i would say not more then an 8th of and inch i have yet to balance the tires that will be the next thing i do as soon as the shops open up the fly wheel was bought specifically for my car along with the stage 3 zoom clutch more to follow ohh but i did see what would happen if i went to higher speeds going arround 95-120 in 4th gear arround 3k-4,500rpms it runs nice and smooth but when i clutch in the car Vibrates horibly

I didn't ask if the flywheel was specifically bought for your car...........alot of the time the aluminum and ultra light flywheels come with a 50 oz weight and 28 oz weight, my flywheel was specifically bought for my car too and it came with both weights...see my point??

Did the vibrations start before or after the driveline mods?

ok so i talked to a mustang tech. today and i think i found my problem i have an automatic slipe yoke on my driveshaft that has a balance weight on it remove the balance weight and put the manual one on it and that should fix the problem **** FORD dealerships they sent me a F-150 slip yoke and told me that was the one picture in rout more to follow on the job.
