[QUOTE="2slo95fiveoh, post: 1276724, member: 8966"] UPDATE! Last week I got the car on jackstands and checked out some stuff. From what I can tell the engine mounts and trans mount are still in good shape, with minimal movement in any of them. I also changed the engine oil and cut open the oil filter and took a look at that, neither of which showed any major metal shavings or anything noticeable, so I may rule out internal engine damage. After talking to several local car guys, as well as internet searches, and my own personal knowledge, I believe the vibration is narrowed down to: -Faulty crankshaft pilot bearing -Faulty clutch throwout bearing -Flywheel threw a counterweight -Flywheel ring gear shifted or became 'out of round' -Clutch threw a weight. That's about all I can think that it could be. Of course there is still a chance that there is internal engine damage, but I would think some sort of metal would be found in the oil or filter, but ya never know. I wont eliminate it from the list, but I'm doubting it severely. I'm going to talk to a couple buddies of mine with lifts, and see if they will let me use them for a night to poke around and try and get something figured out. While I am capable of doing it on my back in the garage, I'd much rather be able to stand up and move around. Hopefully an update (with a solution) soon! [/QUOTE]
