This is the exhaust......



I held the camera on the steering wheel so you could see the shake....

I noticed that you put a circle track clutch in it. Who installed it? Did you change out the flywheel? It looks like a harmonic vibration. They mostly occur right where your vibration is. If so, it needs to be addressed immediately before you chew up your main bearings.....

My friend and I did the procedure ourselves. The shake appeared about two months before we swapped stuff out though. Everything was new in the clutch area already, but nobody swapped out the bearings, so we did them and changed the clutch while we were in there, so I still have a perfectly good spare in the garage.

The odd part is that I had to start the car three times to make it shake, it is really an off and on problem.....

Today I did notice that unplugging the MAF really doesn't change the engine too much while this is occurring and plugging it back in stalls the car..... I have cleaned it twice... but perhaps it is fizzling out and in need of replacement?

Thank you already for your continued help!

i was thinking the same thing; but i think he might have mentioned that the shake was occuring before replacing the clutch.

that does make sense, but i'd hate for you to throw a MAF in it and it not solve your problem.

have you tried removing and cleaning the injectors?

if it were me, i would probably replace the MAF sensor though.

Want to pull the injectors and clean them all really well..... but lately tools in my garage have gone missing.... I live in a fairly quiet new development so I leave the garage 1/4 open during the day if I am constantly going in and out working on my old Porsche 944 or other things and think someone may have been making a visit or two..... so I have to replace a few... and buy a flamethrower to bake whoever it is.....

I want to take it to find a fellow Mustang and swap in their MAF before I commit.... but it is kinda hard just flagging someone down and being like "hey... I have this great idea....."
