Just to let anyone know, I have been dealing with Maple Valley Transmission for a while now since my clutch was replaced. They installed a new Luk clutch kit and resurfaced the flywheel. Then the vibrations began:

http://forums.stangnet.com/showthread.php?t=676246

I have taken it back there about 4 times and they don't say there is anything wrong! I have taken 2 guys on test drives - the noise is obvious and they say it is nothing. It DID NOT make this noise before I had the clutch replaced.

I am thinking it might be the driveline, but they checked it, rotated it and say nothing is wrong - it is balanced no matter which way it is put on... hmmm. There is nothing else they can do they say. Did they damage it when they took it off, who knows. Is there something wrong with the clutch/pressure plate that is causing the vibration. It is not the flywheel.

I just don't know what to do anymore, the floor buzzes at certain RPMs and the gears inside the transmission sound like they are rattling apart as I shift through 3rd and 4th gear.

Any suggestions? Would an Aluminum driveshaft do anything?

There is an exhaust shop right next door. I had that guy ride along with me too. He heard the noise but didn't have a specific guess as to what it could be.
