Have you examined the mounting surfaces on the oil pan to insure a solid fit? Pay close attention to the clutch release arm and the bracket it is mounted to. I would suggest replacing the three pin driver with an older version. Replace the clutch disc with older version and disregard the flex disc...they usually fatigue and crack. Replace the clutch release bearing too! Do it right..do it once! It gets expensive but repaired properly, it should give you many years of good, trouble free service.

On the clutch, driveshaft is new and straight, clutch plates resurfaced, new clutch disc, new teaser, new spiral pins, new cup, new release arm, throwout bearing is good and reused the main spring. Also a new 3 pin driver and the bushing is new in the tranny input flange.
Im confident in the clutch, but I dont think the shaft is the right length. When I mounted it solid, the vibration was not from the driveline and the clutch was smooth.
Clutch operation made no difference in the vibration.
If there was no ball in the input flange, it would mount up just fine. It is the length that I explain in the orginal post.
Im 100% posititive that the vibration is coming from the solid mounted engine, which I am going away from. The motor runs well. This one is just not meant to be solid mounted.
