I'd take it back to them and let them have a look at it.

not try to hijack this thread but since were already talkin bout it

If i drive down the road i use to be able to do like 50 in 5th gear but now it will vibrate pretty harshly and alot of other times in different gears it'll want to vibrate alot. and especially when i get up to interstate speeds but when i go faster usually it will go away does this sound like a driveshaft or clutch problem?

does it vib while stationary, at any rpm? if so, check balancer. if not (i doubt it vibs while stationary), DS sounds likely. did you do the gears recently? gears exacerbate vibs in the DS.
good luck.

when did i get my gears put in? well they were in the car when i bought them. i had to get my tranny swapped if you read the first post so it might just need to be turned again or somethin. the d/s needs to be rebalanced, or turned, or replaced i will find out soon.

so it seems we have two pages of rhetoric, and you are back to your original question. LOL.
as you are going to, try Michael's great advice first. if you end up eating it, call around, but i bet an alum DS would be cheaper (or close enough to make it worthwhile) than getting the stocker properly balanced. (unless the shop does it for ya, for free)

but hopefully the shop makes right on it. good luck.
