Damn, with all those new, superior quality, parts........ it should be smooth as silk.

Did you test the engine mounts under load, using the procedure I described?

Take heart.... this should be relatively easy fix, once you locate the issue.

I have not yet done this, I will have to do it after I break in the clutch, I don't want to spin a new disk

Oh, you don't need to put much load at all to the clutch. It will only take a small amount of force to lift the engine mount (if broken). Just a short (partial) application of clutch is all that's needed.

If you take off real gently, does it still shake??

I'll try the load test tonight, but yes, no matter how low or high i throttle match on take off, it still shakes.
