Bad Vibration

So here's my problem....... From a dead stop, in 1st gear or 2nd which ever i start moving in....As soon as i start to take off and let the clutch out the truck starts violently shaking. I have the truck in my shop and torn down, tranny out clutch out diff cover off ect. the internals of the transmission are solid and still look brand new, as well does the internals of the rear end. one of my u-joints is worn but would not cause such a violent problem. I'm stumped on what the cause of this problem could be. any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. If you have encountered this issue before and know the fix that would be awesome!!! thanks for taking the time to read this.

-Bill

U-joints could be part of the problem

your flywheel could be warped, or the pressure plate. i would have them turned

maybe a broken motor or trans mount?

ya i just bought a new clutch kit today and got the flywheel resurfaced. got a new u-joint as well. hopefully that'll be the fix 250$ total for all. motor and trans mounts are good.

Wondering if that helped as I got pretty good rattle going on in mine too. Thinking of getting a clutch kit and a new flywheel anyways. Did that get rid of the shake in your truck?
