[QUOTE="Mojo88, post: 16446975, member: 184279"] Your post is a tad confusing... you say it "It feels like the driveshaft is unbalanced".... and then you later say, "In neutral just revving up, or driving". So the first big question is: does it vibrate when the car is not moving? If so, then that totally eliminates driveshaft issue. Of course, the very first thing to do is confirm engine is running properly. Any CEL's or other indications of engine issues? Maybe start by taking plugs out and doing compression check, examining plugs, etc. The rpm's you mention (2500 to 3000) are right in the sweet-spot range of engine vibration, which I've had too many times. One engine I rebuilt (big block Chevy), I had the race shop balance the engine, and switch from external balance to internal balance (involved adding some Mallory metal to crank). The engine vibrated exactly as you described. I checked everything I could, made sure all cylinders were firing properly, and it still shook when I revved the engine. I thought it might be the clutch.. nope. I had to remove the engine and take it all apart, send back to shop, they re-balanced and it still shook, then I did whole process again and went to participate in the balance job, confirming all the bobweights were correct and so on. Anyway, when we spun the crank assembly, it was WAY off on the balance. Once we got it smooth on the balance machine, I put it back together and it was fine.... smooth as silk again. I'm only telling you the story so that you realize I've had balance issues and am familiar with them. Bottom line: assuming your engine is running properly; my guess is that your vibration issue is located in clutch area or damper. A piece of clutch disc could have been blasted off, especially since you're making more power now... or damper may have shifted. I'm not an expert on your particular damper, so maybe someone else can chime in how to check it?? [/QUOTE]
