Are you letting go of the clutch slowly while you rev slowly? Sometimes I catch myself doing that so I won't rev to high and waste gas (). Sometimes it vibrates and the whole front end shakes also.

someone said it maybe one of the springs in the clutch? What do you guys think of that?

Well you guys were right! Heat cracked and glazed flywheel plus a loose spring in the clutch plate. I just bought a new Fidanza 7.5 lb. flywheel to replace the stock one. Hopefully it works out OK.

Hate to hijack the thread, but if your flywheel becomes galzed, can you resurface it?
