Vibration...

Vibration...
Heres the truck info:
2002 Ranger Supercab 4dr 4.0 SOHC, 5spd manual, 104,000 miles.
I just put a brand new OE ford clutch kit & slave cyl. in the truck. I now have a vibration at anything faster than 55mph. Wasn't there before I did the clutch. I used the alignment tool that came with the kit and everything went together very slick...in fact was the easiest clutch I have ever done.
I originally thought maybe the driveshaft had to be oriented a certain way and I should have marked the flanges where the driveshaft mounts both at the rear end and transfer case...but if these driveshafts balanced out of the truck then it shouldn't make a difference which bolt holes are used in the shaft vs. the rear end & tranny.
I then thought maybe the flywheel in the engine was the source as I did not get a new one or get it re-surfaced, I just took a scotch brite pad and took the glaze off it. But....when going 65-70 MPH and you take it out of gear and let it idle, or put it in a different gear it doesn't change anything so I don't think the flywheel is the source.
Any ideas???

I don't think removing and replacing the drive shaft could have screwed up a u-joint...like I said, it didn't do this before I put the new clutch kit in. The one thing I didn't do is remove the front drive shaft from the transfer case...I just disconnected it from the front axle and left it hanging from the transfer case. I may have damaged it but I think its unlikely. Can you remove the front shaft in this truck without losing fluid out of the transfer case?
