Default Vibration since doing clutch

Hi,

I did my clutch a few weeks ago and now im experiencing a vibration between 30 and 40mph. like i said its only appeared since doing clutch.

It had at the same time new gearbox seals and brand new drive shafts.

what do you guys think? i dont think it could be the clutch as when its roughly alligned with the tool it will sort itself out when i first depress the clutch?? it drives fine other then the vibration

Any help apprieciated guys.

Why did you change the shafts fella?

Theres a rubber balancer on one that might not be in the right position.

Hi there mate

I replaced the shafts cuz mine litrally fell appart the cv joints was knackered and leaking grease everywhere.

Rubber balancer? i never spotted nothing on the old shafts cuz i made sure the new ones were the correct ones for the car and not missing nothing.

I dont know what could cause the vibrations since i did the clutch atm.

thanks for your help

Are you sure its the clutch? I would imagine if it was then it would be between a rev range rater than a speed.

Get the front on axle stands (even better a 2 post ramp) and drive it and see if the vibrations still there. It may sound simple but sonething like an unbalanced wheel or a fooked tyre could be the cause.

Rule out the easy things first.
