Vibration with new clutch
Just put a stage 4, 6 puck racing clutch in my c5 with a lightweight flywheel and every now and then when ur letting the clutch out it gets a little vibration just wondering if that's normal for this style of clutch. The new flywheel didn't come with the alignment dowels so I put it in without then could that also cause this issue

Sounds like you're talking about clutch chatter. With certain types of clutch disc material, it will happen. Could also be happening if you didn't properly clean all of the surfaces prior to install or get everything buttoned down properly.

non organic and especially puc clutches chatter on release. nothing wrong, working as intended.
they put a LOT more stress on your drivetrain and couplers too
i hate these things. there is no feathering and no real control. basically on/off clutches

Those clutches are crap unless you unload off the trailer, do a burnout, drop the clutch at 5500 rpm then put it back on the trailer.
They really shouldn't be in a street car as their are better options out there.
Never seen a puck clutch that didn't chatter
PS I'd never run a clutch without the flywheel dowels

Clutch chatter will cause the whole car to shake?

absolutely
dash shakes, you feel it in your bones then when the clutch is out it's magically smooth again. these things are terrible on any car but especially terrible on a c5 since it uses rubber couplers in the driveline
