Default Vibration at random times

Not sure if I need a new clutch or what but...

My car (LS1 w/T56) has this issue where it will vibrate at random times, on acceleration, deceleration, and when cruising.

It can happen in any gear. Say I'm accelerating, everything is fine. Shift into 4th, feel the vibration. I can shift into 5th and it will be gone, or I can press the clutch in and rev match again, let the clutch out in the same gear it will be gone. It's almost as if my clutch needs to line up perfectly with the flywheel or else it vibrates.

What are my possible issues? I think the car has an aftermarket clutch, not sure what it is because I bought it used. Also has an MGW shifter.

Thanks for any help.

It only happens while the car is moving?

Could be your pilot bearing/bushing is worn. Mine would vibrate under power, higher rpms sometimes. During recent clutch change I found my pilot bushing quite wallered out.

Oh and Erny your little user pic had me poking at my screen. lol
