Squeal and vibration when clutch is engaged

6 months ago i replaced my clutch and when finished, my car has had a bad vibration that shakes the entire car. It only happens when the clutch is engaged from a dead stop and when engaging it when downshifting. And when the engine is under load and i press the clutch quickly, i hear a single knock.

Someone advised me that maybe my drive shaft needs to be checked or most likely the yoke or universal joint needs to be replaced on it. I replaced the rear end with a moser 12 bolt recently and the problem still exists.

The vibration goes away if i rev the motor to 2k rpms when i release the clutch. If i do not rev it up a small bit, the car violently vibrates and you can hear a ticking sound underneath the car. (can't really tell exactly where) I have never experienced this at all until i replaced my clutch and perhaps i screwed something up during the install.


As always, i appreciate everyones input and thanks in advnace.
