I still think its a bent axle/rim. I don't see how the clutch could be a problem making the car shake at a certain speed, because it would do it at that same RPM in every gear.

If an alignment next weekend doesn't fix it, I am going to have a mechanic look at it since I am totally incompetent in the diagnostic area. I have tried everything I think it could be, so I will have someone who knows what they are doing tell me.

Don't rule out that left axle just because it's been replaced. You don't know how good that inner joint was before they 'remanufactured' it...

I would find a couple of "known good" axles and swap them in and test drive it... BTW if your teg is lowered more than 1 1/2
inches you may be putting the stock length axles in a severe bind. They may not have enough depth in the inner joints to allow sufficient movement inside causing them to jam at the bottom. Makes for premature and excessive wear, broken transmission or differential or even a possibly bent axle. The solution is to raise it back up some or get custom shortened axles ( a 1/2 inch shorter axle shaft should be OK).

I was poking around H-T and someone said that the harmonic balancers missing off the axles could cause shaking. I had them on my old axles but I didn't put new ones on my new axles. Should this be something to be concerned about or are they blowing smoke up my ass?
