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.

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?
