RE: [DML] Re: Trans problem-violent shake

Mike,

I agree with your assessment that it's probably the clutch. Chattering is
common if the flywheel was not ground to match the new disc. Rebuilt discs
sometimes chatter as well. Dani did you replace the pressure plate and did
you use a new or reconditioned disc?

I think it's the clutch.  Even though it was replaced lately, it sounds like
a classic case of clutch chatter.  If the car didn't behave like this before
the clutch was done, and it does after, you have to go with what was 
changed most recently as a starting point.
