I had the rotating assy balanced before installed and this problem is a recent thing it didnt have this problem after the tune.In fact i didnt get this problem until the first s5 clutchmasters shated on me.Since then its been one thing after another

Thanks guys for the help but I found out what the culprit was I had a broke crankshaft on the main closest to the flywheel.
