Default Another vibration thread

So i bought my first ls car two weeks ago. Its a 2002 z28 m6 with 105,000 miles and according to the carfax a one owner car. When i drive the car no matter how much throttle i give i get a vibration starting at 2500 rpm. When i get on it the vibration progressively gets worse all the way to 6k rpm. i can feel it all threw out the car. As soon as i push the clutch in it goes away. When i first got the car i changed the knock sensors, tr55 plugs,MSD wires, belts, SLP underdrive, royal purple trans and diff fluid. The vibration stayed the same b4 and after everything was done. My brother in law who is a moderator on this site says its the ls6 clutch.... my question is if it happens to be the clutch is it safe for the engine or do i need to hurry and change it.

Default vibration

I chased same vibration for 2 summers, new clutch,rebuilt moser 12 bolt completely, tick rebuilt t-56, 2 chromoly drive shaft, and new pst 3 1/2" aluminum driveshaft. ended up being tailshaft bushing only thing tick didn't replace now all smooth at 130+ MPH. Don't wast the money I did have a trany shop check it now and replace with rockland gear NO-WALK bushing.
