Arrow Desperatly looking for help for my 2000 V6 Mustang

I have a 00 Mustag V-6. Ive posted before and havent gotten much response, probably because I wasnt as descriptive as I should be for someone to understand my problem . Ok, so I have a spec stage 1 clutch, the first day it was installed, its been nothing but a pain in the ass. Meaning before the installation everything was great, no vibration in the clutch pedal, no jerking shifter(5 speed), and no...no smell of burning clutch. So this new clutch, as described, causes my clutch pedal to shake, no matter what, while in gear...or out of gear, doesnt matter....all the time everytime. The car also shakes really bad when being put into first gear at times, meaning the tranny shakes really hard and thus shakes the shifter pretty had too...and the car stumbles cause of that. While the car is moving at 60mph, the car vibrates...and vibrates from the tranny all the way to the stearing wheel. It starts around 1800RPM and stops at 2500RPM. I had a tech look at it briefly, and straight up told me its not the pilot bearing(which is new along with the clutch). As far as the smell goes, I am starting to smell it even if the car isnt moving, and especially so when backing up. Maybe thinking I need a new clutch cable because mine isnt calibrated correctly for the new clutch. I have no idea. Its getting bad enough to where I hate driving it anymore. I would greatly....greatly appreciate any help, experience...that could help me put this problem finally to rest. And if no stated the clutch has 10k miles on it.

You have the wrong balance flywheel on the car. It needs to be replaced, or the weight needs to come off of the back of it. Harmonic vibrations will kill your motor quickly.......

well...

at this point, i would suggest having the original flywheel resurfaced and put back into your car. and while you're in there, make sure the flywheel bolts are torqued down to 80ftlbs and the pressure plate bolts are torqued down to 28 ftlbs.

what brand flywheel did you install? can you post a link to it?

Also, if they did not align the clutch, it can vibrate. At any rate, it needs to be redone correctly.....

We could help you out, but that's a long road trip......

i would definetly enjoy the trip, and getting the car fixed I have a factory flywheel on the way and the car is just sitting in the meantime. It should get here tomorrow so ill keep ya'll posted. However I did pull all of my injectors and to find they were only down 9% flow in 1 injector. Not that bad.
