Default got a tranny installed....still have problems

so i got a new tranny, clutch, and flywheel put in my 4th gen. now, on very low to no throttle launches, the entire car vibrates. when im going down the road or on the highway, my clutch pedal is always vibrating whenever the car is in motion. there is some sort of grindingish sound coming from my engine bay. its like more of a scraping, becuase it does not sound that "fast" also, now whenever im in neutral, my car squeaks, put it stops when i put the car in gear and let the clutch out. is this the imput shaft not correctly lined up, or an axel not all the way in, or what?

what started all of this, vibration could come from a lot of things....timing/balance belt problems are more likely to cause that....

i just talked to my friend, and he said it oculd possibly be just cause its a stage 2 clutch. is this true. its only at low rpm launches that the whole car shakes, but my clutch peddle is always shaking.

the low rpm launches are fine, thats just clutch chatter.....cutting the flywheel can cut down on it

the pedal shaking is not right, you may have a bad throw out bearing

mmk, the flywheel was machined too, but you say it could still be the throw out bearing?

I doubt it's a throwout bearing problem. What kinda flywheel did you get? Was it doing this before you changed everything? (I'd assume so that's why you changed it) Also you shouldn't be on that clutch for awhile it's new you have to break it in, so that might compound problems. Even tho you said low rpm launching a launch is a launch. Let ur clutch break in some mang.

if your pedal wobbles while its fully out, then you have something messing with the clutch fork.....

the throwout bearing is the first thing to check

the clutch and flywheel would not affect this, as they are together while the pedal is out....

its a stock flywheel that has been machined. im not sure what clutch is in, as he said it was a racing clutch and it was all he had so he charged me the same price as a stocker. its a prelude s , with an f22a1 bone stock with exhaust, yea it chirping the tires a pretty good way through second so i know its a very good clutch. my old tranny lost 3rd and 4th, so i got a new tranny installed, and when he was in there, he saw i needed a new clutch, as the stocker had 90k on it. thats where this all stemeed from, when i say launch, its just starting. i get it into first gear under 1k and it still shakes the whole damn car. at about 3k is when it wont shake the car, and i have to let it out pretty fast. also another question. what do prelude s's run in the quarter stock?
