Flywheel balance?

You might have better luck with your question in the Drivetrain forum.

Just to clarify.... the vibration started with your old clutch/flywheel????

Did the new clutch/flywheel change the vibration in any way?

the vibration started with the old clutch and flywheel,just my clutch went out so i decided since i was going to replace the clutch i might as well replace the flywheel too,we pulled off the old clutch and flywheel out, and just put the new ones on,i didnt balanced the flywheel ro did anything like that cause supposebly it didnt needed to be balanced.

Only when you take off or while youre driving down the road also?

only on the take off,if i rev the engine high and then drop the clutch it doesnt vibrate,only when i release the clutch slowly

If you bought a Fidanza aluminum flywheel than it definetly needs to be balanced. When I got my aluminum flywheel from fidanza there were like 4 stickers and like 2 sheets of paper that said the flywheel needed to be balanced to the stock flywheel before it goes in the car. That could explain your vibration. Call Fidanza and see what they say, they said mine needed balancing, I got mine done by a shop but if you send Fidanza both your stock and new flywheel, they will balance it for free. I got mine balanced for 50 bucks at a shop here in DB. Hope this info helps alittle. Peace.
