I've been getting a vibration inside of my every since I had my clutch replaced. The vibration stops whenever I engage the clutch. Anyone have any idea what it is?

I agree with above, ur clutch is either bad or not installed right. If u had a shop do it, take it back. If u did it yourself, have fun.

I wonder if the flywheel was cut or cut correctly?

I actually had a guy do it for cheap, won't go that route again. The only reason I did it is because at the time I didn't have the money. Next time i'll just go to Ford.

Ford quoted me $500 for the OEM clutch and $80/hr for labor @ 8 hrs, I dont know how they can justify that. Anyway I payed $250 for the install(clutch, flywheel, tranny service) at a local shop. Mine vibrates and rattles also but thats cause I need motor mounts, it was like that with the old clutch also. You only hear it when the car is stopped and the clutch is not engaged. She shifts great though and the pedal feel is awsome(CF DF clutch, Fidanza AL flywheel.)

I'm thinking that maybe the guy did something wrong because it never did it before.

I had my clutch replaced in the not too recent past by a shop. As soon as I started it the car shook quite a bit with even moderate engine RPM. I shut it off, walked back into the store and told them to re-do it. They um'd and ah'd but I insisted, telling them about the only way a new clutch could vibrate this bad is if it was installed without dowels installed in the flywheel, certainly possible if the flywheel was resurfaced and the dowels were removed but not put back in afterwards.

When I got it back, they acknowledged the missing dowels and the car was smooth as butter again.

Well I took it to Ford today and they said that they would have to tear the car apart to fix it. So this time I'm going to just spend the money and let them fix it. This really sucks guys!
