Vibration
I have a 02 Z06 that is a bolt on and cam car. I just got through installing a monster level 4 clutch with billet flywheel, tick master cylinder, and pfadt tranny brace. Every since i did the install i have had a vibration from what feels like the drive line. When im driving down the road if i put the car in neutral the vibration goes away. Any thoughts on what this could be?

That would suggest propshaft with clutch pushed in. If it is the propshaft, you should also get vibration with the car setting still, transmission in neutral, clutch engaged (pedal full up) and revving up in engine rpm.

What is the tranny brace? I know some of the other braces have caused issues, it is something you can easily remove to eliminate it as the cause, especially if there was no vibration prior to installation.

I’m not a fan of the pfadt trans mount. Did you have the vibration prior to installing it? If I remember correctly I believe they added some different durometer pads for the mount after people started to complain about the excessive vibration it allows through to the vehicle. It your plan is to stick with this mount you might what to try some of the softer pads.

No the vibration started soon as i got everything installed. I know a couple people that are running the same mount without any problems, which i why im leaning toward it being the propshaft. Im probably just gonna end up taking it back apart and give it a look over.
