Car Shakes--Clutch too Tite? Unbalanced Flywheel?
Me and my friend have been so stumped on this shake of my car, when I lightly accellerate in gear my whole car shakes, steering wheel and all. Recently I had a f1 racing stage 3 clutch and 9lbs flywheel put in, also I installed innovative mount kit. Since then the shake has been occurring.
We done the following so far:
1. New axles (both sides)
2. New control arm bushings upper/lower (Energy)
3. Checked ball joints, tie rods & wheel bearings. All look 2 be good.
Please someone with EXPERIENCE help me!!!

Racing clutches are... for racing.
When you race, so don't accelerate lightly.
The bottom line is, racing clutches are go or no-go. They should not be driven on the street if they are "Race application" only. Besides, unless you are pumping out 300WHP, you have no need for a racing clutch. Trust me, you will have the ride you want with a stock replacement clutch, and it will last longer in normal driving conditions. Organic clutch discs are made to slip slightly but not glaze the flywheel/pressure plate. If you want a stronger grip on the clutch for when you want to dump it, you should have a better pressure plate. But I still recommend an organic disc unless you are using the car for drag racing 100% of the time. A lot of metallic racing clutches are for side stepping at 5 grand or better, not for light RPM take-offs.
I am not familiar with the clutch you moentioned, but "F1 racing clutch" sounds like it is for racing.
