Default little update on my vibration

well as some of you know i was gettting a vibration up around 3200rpms on the motor side of the tranny for awhile, so i pulled my tranny check some stuff out, fixed some stuff, and replaced some stuff. well got it back together and it was way worse.

well i pulled everything again and installed some dowel pins that wasnt in there to begin with, reinstalled everything and no its alot better but im still getting a slight vibration coming in at like 2k rpms. its not real bad but im still going to fix it. i called up james at my tranny shop, and he said the pressure plate could be warped from inproper install or even could have been sent this way. im thinking its the pressure plate my self seeing how bad itwas then how much better it was after the dowl pin install. so im proply going to put a new clutch kit in it. What do yall think?

I don't think a pressure plate could cause a vibration unless it was way out of balance.

idk then, im lost has correct balancer, and flywheel. i would think if the motor was that bad out of balance from the previous time i reinstalled it that i would have f-uped the bearings or something. it has to be something from the flywheel to bearing retainer, what would be a your guess?

bought the motor with 1500 miles on it from a friend. he says he never fely the vibration with hes 4:10s. iv felt it eversincei installed the motor. it was coming in at like 3200 and wasnt to terrible.

Pulled the tranny, found my ring gear on the flywheel wasnt pressed all the way on so got that fixed, installed new pilot bearing, tranny mount and crossmember mounts and the problem was way worse, coming in at like 1500, you could feel it on your butt. so i pulled it again and foundd that the prssure plate bolt holes were wollered out so i installed some dowel pins and now theres a slight vibration coming in at like 2k or so. funny thing is that somethings it vibrates over a certain rpm range say like 3k or so, and sometimes its smooth as can be, idk i need some help lol
