Default lt1 shakes at high rpms????why?

i have a 97 ws6 manual ..car is very rough but obviously this aint no lexus or benz...

my concern is that whenever im in 1st gear and get above 3,000 rpm.. the car shakes like crazy.. why?

if im standing in neutral and rev it ..again in high rpms past 3 it shakes real bad.... why does it do that ..what will clear it up?

if u keep ur hand on the shifter and stay at high rpms in first gear.. then within seconds u wont be able to feel ur hand.. why does it shake so bad.. i know this aint normal

After talking with you on the phone I say clutch. If I'm right you'll find out soon enough...

Later, ~Joshua

haha, after selling my cars and becoming a Realtor, I've not been as into the LS1 community as I'd like to be. I still browse here at least once a day, but I certainly don't post as much. I hope to have another LS1 by the summer though.

Sorry to hijack the thread.
