Just like doing a brake job, you can pad slap it but it's not right. Your asking for noise, and with a clutch your asking for chatter.

Alot of small shops don't resurface because they have to take the flywheel to a tranny shop to have it turned, it takes time and you might never have a problem.

So do you really think that could be the issue then since he Didn't resurface it?

If the shake only happins as you let the clutch out in first or second (like above)then yes.

How long ago did they do the clutch?

Did the mechanic that you try to diagnose it the same one that done the clutch?

In case my mechanic gives up, anyone know a reputable mechanic that won't charge me a arm and a leg to look at it and possibly get it fixed?
