Don't know much about the cars recent history so I'm fixing things up.
Current issue is a vibration coming from the engine/transmission.
Seems to be dependent on engine RPM. Over 3,000 it's pretty bad. Shake the whole car bad.
You can go 80mph in 6th gear and it feels perfectly fine. It's just higher RPM's
I had a motor mount replaced and that didn't help. Have not taken a look at the transmission mount. Would assume it's not the driveshaft. Wheels tires are brand new but it did it with the old ones.
EDIT: engine free revs up to 5,000 rpm no issues
Would the next thing to check be the clutch/flywheel? Either out of balance, damaged, put together wrong?
There is a red/gold McLeod clutch in there that I can see (RST sticker). Engages fine, doesn't smell. But I'm thinking about having a shop pull the trans and take a look. Hard part is finding someone nearby that 1, will do a clutch, 2, has some idea of what they are looking at.
Maybe they reused a bad flywheel or had it machined wrong?
