Hi everyone, recently got my clutch replaced and my fly wheel machined and when i go in either reverse or first gear and try to move the car shakes quite badly.

I found this youtube vid which is pretty much the problem im experiencing.

Wondering if anyone here knows what the problem is

Thanks!

My mechanic told me its the actual gearbox? Is there a chance it could be that given these symptoms? Pretty much 3,4,5 gears are 100% normal and only getting the car to move from stationary creates this problem

You may have bent the boxes input shaft when removing or fitting the box.

Your not supposed to let the box hang on the engine when slightly out, all the boxes weight is then on the input shaft which can bend it.

Was the clutch pressure plate tightened evenly in a criss cross fashion? You can also bend the pressure plate cover which can do the same thing.

Last thing was all the protective oil coating removed from the pressure plate and flywheel cleaned? No grease put on the input shaft or thrust bearing that can get flung onto the clutch plate?

Yeah im not too sure as the mechanic did the work. I will have to ask and double check. I just didnt want another major repair so wanted to double check with anyone here.
