I noticed some high ram vibration specially in my stick shift after pulling thr engine I notices some odd no equal marks on the clutch and was wondering if maybe the clutch was comming out of balance wierd wear marks on the inside of only a couple weights too any input would be extremely helpful

The only thing that's there for those to scrape on is the ThrowOut Bearing (TOB). I would hazard to guess that your TOB was either bad when it was initially installed, or worn/broken and is not spinning around the center.

The other possibility is that the clutch plate was not centered when it was initially installed.

Either way: Put the clutch back in with a new TOB and use an alignment tool to get it centered before torquing it down. Use a torque wrench.

The adundance of grease tells me that is your problem....Douche everything down good with brakeparts cleaner and only put a small amount on the splines,,,That much buildup you have is not good...
