Just got my clutchmasters 2200pp and disc replaced with a 2500pp and new street disc, with a fidanza flywheel topped off with some fresh gear oil. Im only 60 miles into the break-in period but I have been noticing a tremble/shake/rattle each time I engage( both upshift and downshift, but more so when i downshift). It usually happens when i allow it to engage slowly. It mostly occurs between 1st-2nd-3rd upshifts and 4th-3rd-2nd downshifts. It feels as if the clutch and flywheel are trying to mate but can do it without trembling. It causes slight vibrations in the pedal and steering wheel. Im guessing its all a part of break-in procedure because my 2200 never did this. Just wanna know what you guys think of it. Thanx.

P.S. my engine mounts have polyurethane inserts but not the tranny mount.
 
who installed your clutch?

could have warped the clutch disc when installing. By putting the input shaft into disc and letting the trans hang from there for a couple moments till you put the bolts in could have done it.
 
a local performance shop. I doubt the clutch is warped, but Ill know for sure when I break it in.....right?
The trembling isnt as bad as I may have described, but when i let the gears slowly engage, thats when i feel it and more so in the lower gears.
