Default VIBRATION

i aint sure but maybe if you fitted an uprated bush that would be the cause of the vibration, but aint sure. Uprated bushes tend to cause vibration i have found as there is very little play in them.

I had an identical thing, altho, it came out of the blue, (hadnt been working on the car or anything) had the prop balanced, then realised an engine mount had gone.
Might be worth a check, incase you knackered it, jiggling the gearbox back in......?

I had just the same problem. done a lot of things but it was solved by installing a new clutch kit (release bearing + clutch + cover). in mine vibration was so strong that the plastic central console broke.
