I have just looked at a series of videos you have posted with your list of complaints about your car.
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCglJzIcP0WHjCngPa6WlueASure is one sad dirty old neglected car.
Tell me, why would you come to this group of good people seeking to get vibration analysis when you have prepared a series of videos to assist your case on litigation and on that old thing.
I would suggest that you pay for your advice with someone who will go the mile with you....but that advise and the lawyers would cost you far more than the car is worth.
i think it is wrong for you to involve the good people who attend this group with the real agenda you have.
By the way I would mount that rusty old clutch in any car, especially after you have dropped and damaged the disc
OK, you know what? I'm going to pass on the flush of anger I felt when you impugned my character. The "good people" you speak of have been kind enough to offer me some valuable advice, and I cannot tell you how much I resent your accusing me of disrespecting them.
You have a serious problem with reading comprehension, my South of the equator "friend"

I'm not going to go into detail over all the problems with the shop. I'm still battling with them, lawyers are involved, and it'll probably be a couple of months before it's resolved. There are two key elements, though:
1) I sent my old clutch back to Centerforce. Their engineer said there was nothing wrong with it. More importantly, he said there were signs the release bearing had been coming into contact with the balancing weights, which suggested an out-of-balance condition. Since the balance on the clutch had checked out perfectly, he said I should look at the flywheel.
2) After much back-and-forth, the transmission guy finally admitted not only had he not had the flywheel balanced, he hadn't had it resurfaced, either. He'd never even taken it off the car.
I chose not to go into detail over my problems with the transmission shop because the car vibrated before they worked on it, and the car still vibrated exactly the same after I got it back from them. Their $1,260 rebuild of my transmission was garbage, but it clearly had no effect on the vibration I've been experiencing, and therefore had no place in an already complex thread regarding that vibration.
The transmission will have to come back out of the car to correct the damage done to my formerly perfectly-shifting transmission by the people who "rebuilt" it. That will give me access to the flywheel, which was not resurfaced and balanced, as contracted and paid for. Since the flywheel's balance is potentially causal of my engine vibration, I mentioned the transmission shop.
As far as the videos are concerned, I'd like to remind you sir, that I was the one who provided the link to my youtube channel. While I only directly linked to the video that was relevant to the discussion, the channel is an open one, and anyone is free to look at any, or all of them.
You assertion that I am trying to hide something, or do something that is in any way shady is not only insulting, it is utterly ridiculous.
As far as your insults over my car are concerned, they're simply too infantile to address.
Thanks for your earlier help, sir, but I'd appreciate it if you'd just move on.
