was on the way to FFW at california speedway was shifting and was going from 3rd to 4th went into second heard a big pop and the car sputtered alot then was fine all the way to jack in the box (20 mi) then after that when the rpms would go higher then 2500 the whole car would vibrate really bad. i drove home with no problems just stayed below 2400 and didnt get on it was still doing 85mph. it does it with the clutch engaged, when the car is in nuetral, when im driving i have no idea what it can be.... maybe flywheel warped i have no idea
 
the input shaft was loose on the t-45 and the clutch had chips and metal to metal marks the flywheel had one of the three dowels in it pushed through and the MIDDLE of the flywheel was warped over 30% hopefully this fixes it. my motto is if something breaks upgrade it to mo better. so why fix those to risk them goin out again so i replaced everything as oyu can see   the shop is 80% sure thats what was causing the bad vibration they called to other shops for the input this was my solution:
 
T56 w /mech speedo $2595
upgraded inputshaft $399
Billet Steel flywheel $240
KC Clutch $199
Quicktime bellhousing $449
MGW shifter $179
D/S safety loop $49
T/A girdle $159
Custom driveshaft $325
Shipping ~$175
Totals $4769

Im confused!? Your explination of events are, well confusing. And i dont think i would drop 5,000 dollars on parts when a shop is only 80% sure of a fix. Kudos to you for having the money, but perhaps a second oppinion is needed. Dont think im being an ass, but just giving a third point of view on your situation, i hope everything works out for ya way to nice of a car to be stuck in the garage

well i didnt have the money sitting around i had to take out a loan for 700 of it.....  they said they can only be 80% sure since they didnt take apart the engine to save me money but they did test the crank.  they asked 2 other shops for their opinion they all agreed it should be the flywheel

A flywheel that badly warped would give you vibration at any RPM and could also hurt your crank from the vibrations that would go through it. I hope everything is ok with the car cause that's a lot of money to spend. Sounds like a nice setup though.

yeah it should fix the prob (hopefully)  them and the other shops said since it was warped in the middle that why the vibration got more noticable as the rpms went up plus the inputshaft was loose and metal to metal on the clutch
