Angry vibration

Hope everyone had a good holiday!! Now on to my question...I installed a T-56 about a month ago in my IROC-Z. Now I have a vibration at a about 2300 RPM and up. The trans has been rebuilt as well. The vibration can be felt at a stand still while revving the engine. I put the trans in gear and depress the clutch and can feel it. I installed a new GM LT-1 flywheel, and SLP's disc and pressure plate, and new Moroso pilot bearing. Has anyone had a problem with the GM Flywheel before on a swap?? or SLP's clutch set???

My auto uses the same mount as you, I believe. When I installed it, I felt a lot more vibration.

Thanks for the replies!!! It feels more like a vibration from the Flywheel than anything?? The mount I do not see causing this much problems.

Just a thought. How is the driveshaft? Has it been balanced and have you checked that the U-joints are not notchy?

The vibration can be felt sitting still. Wheels do not have to spin at all. But yes the driveshaft is OK it is a new 1LE piece.

I thought the flywheel was supposed to be machined flat when a new clutch is put in. Did you do this?

Ok, this may be reaching a bit, but check out this thread

This was for an auto but it may apply.

Good thought but I just had the trans. out looking at the clutch set and all my bolts were tight. Used Loctite on them as well!

Thanks for the replies
