Default Does my clutch flywheel assembly need to be balanced

I get a little bit of vibration between 2000-2500 on my 02, Would it help if my clutch & flywheel assembly was balanced. The car only has 34k but the transmission has been rebuilt at some point in the past.

Are you using the original parts that came in the car? If so, then the assembly should have been balanced properly when new. If nothing has changed then it is much more likely that the vibration is originating from another source. Let me know if you have changed any parts of the rotating assembly and we can move forward from that point. Thanks!!!

Default The rebuild was done before I aquired the vehicle

The transmission was rebuilt by the prevous owners mechanic. I'm sure its stock, not sure if it was reassembled in the same regarding the flywheel to pressure plate positon.

I'd take a look at your tranny mount if you havent already. They crack really easily and that could very well be your problem as you said the tranny has been rebuilt previously(taken in and out)
