Thanks for the ideas, mike.
Well, I thougnt that it could be any of those things (the ones I knew of
anyway) but he looked at it twice and THEN completely replaced the clutch again
for free under warranty about 6 months after the initial work... I've used
these guys for more than 10 years for things I didn't wnat to/couldn't deal
with and I would be stunned if it was any willfull ----up on his part... he's
always been very cool.
The vehicle has 170K on it, and he's seen it off and on since in had 50K and I
appreciate the fact he'll still work on it, so I try to cut him some slack.
Many things can and will go wrong on this truck that are NOT his fault, you
know? NAd that shop has helped me many times on the phone for free with stuff
I do myself or stuff to try when the car is dead or something.
The timing of this one was suspect though... the problem started when he
changed the clutch.

Even good shops can 'do something wrong', it happens to the best of
them.
Dropping a needle bearing or getting the driveshaft out of sync is easy
to do and not notice.
But blaming a vibe on grease is well....

Just a hunch, but have you checked the tranny mount? At that age, it
would be no surprise if it gave up the ghost while the tranny/tc was
being pulled and jacked around during the clutch job. Vibration is
not the first thing that comes to mind when one of those goes, but it
could be transmitting more than before if it gave up and you are now
feeling something that was already there but masked until the rubber
went. Sounds like you're in the market for possible off-the-wall
possibilities, anyway.
