New clutch - new vibration
This is in refernce to this thread - https://www.rx7club.com/forum/showth...hreadid=103175
Now, between 1700-2300rpms, I get a pretty decent vibration....this is with a brand new clutch....Vosko suggested motor mounts...anything else I should look for?

After the clutch went, I got some vibrations starting at 1700-rpms and gets worse all the way twords redline. I need some help! What in the world would cause this kind of vibration??? I can't imagine the clutch material causing this sort of problem because its relatively soft, and I don't think my counter-weight is the problem.
Here's a few more peices of information.
#1 It doesn't matter if I'm driving or sitting still, it always does it
#2 Clutch in, clutch out, in neutral or in gear, it ALWAYS vibrates
#3 I don't think we found all of the clutch material from the old clutch...what we did find probably only made up 1/2 of what was acutally gone
#4 It did this while driving clutch-less also, with the old clutch...and I thought that was the cause of the problem
#5 There were no physical problems with the flywheel I could see. No marks made by flying debris.
Thanks for help in advance!

Maybe the flywheel does....but the pressureplate and clutch...and the throw-our bearing are all brand new. But the flywheel may have some stuff on it, yes....but it would be on the back, since I cleaned the front really well.

My car does this as well. Shakes with rpm, but doesnt have to be moving or in gear or whatever. I had my engine rebuilt, the flywheel was machined down a lil to get the "waves" outa it, I put new clutch, pressure plate and release baring, and were put on correctly with the centering tool and were torqued down to spec. I dont know if the vibration was there before the engine rebuild cause I bought the car with the blown engine.
Its not the driveshaft because it does it while the car isnt moving.
The only thing that I can think it would be is wrong flywheel counter weight, or something internal on the engine, maybe a broken baring which cause the ecentric shaft to vibrate, or a counter weight on the engine, or maybe someone doesnt know how to machine down the flywheel.
My clutch was not blow on the car when I replaced it so there is no pieces of it caught anywhere or anything like that.
oo and I solid mounted my engine, so its not the engine mounts.
What is wrong with our cars?!
Thanks for the help guys!
