Horriffic Vibration while engaging clutch
I have some horrible shaking/vibration with my car. Just recently started a few days ago. It was on and off, but not its all day everyday
For example, If I'm and a stop sign or stop light and i slowly engage with while giving throttle, it vibrates like crazy. It does the same thing in reverse as well. I looked through the inspection hole, and everything seemed fine.
I just put a new exhaust on my car and currently have my "underbraces" that were underneath off because I just ordered the cusco ones. for down pipe clearance, but could this be a possibility?
Could I adjust my clutch?
I've read a few things saying its the clutch itself, but they all had twin disks. I have a Stage 2 ACT clutch(CRAP!)
Any suggestions on what it is? How to fix it? Thank you!!

Start adjusting the clutch pedal and see if that improves.
Also you can bleed your slave cylinder.
After you've done that, report back if it still does it.
Does it do it all the time? Hot/cold?

I don't see how any of the above would help with his issue. Sounds like you have a flywheel with some serious hard spots. Possibly due to hot lapping the car at a dragway or similar actions where you heat the flywheel up a good amount. Also clutch disc failure. Is that clutch a sprung disc clutch or did you get a puck style? Also could be from a loose engine or transmission mount causing the engine and transmission to shake a lot when engaging you pressure plate

I wish I jot lapped and drag race. It's my daily driver and only sees 5-7 miles a day.
Honesty, I dont know what kind of clutch other than stage 2 ACT clutch. Nothing but regrets with this car. But I'm learning so yeah.....
But I don't see any stage 2 anything for ACT. And I'll peep through the inspection port later and see if anything is abnormal.

Act offers a lot of clutch options for this car as seen here http://www.lancershop.com/customer/home.php?cat=113
The whole top half of the page is act clutches. (don't order from that site, just used as an example)
Do you know how old the clutch is? Does the clutch slip at all? Try going 50mph or so in 5th and floor it. This puts a heavy load on the clutch and should slip under this condition. If the RPM's go up and your MPH does not go up the clutch is slipping. Try and find somebody local to you with some evo knowledge that could help you out. P.S. I bought my car from beaufort SC. Assuming you are in the service like my previous owner is.

Clutch has zero slip. I've done the highway pull. To test this out already.
I actually am stationed out here. I'm in the navy though.
The clutch was supposedly changed out at 126k and I bought the car with 129k.
When's did you buy your car?
I actually have a very knowledgeable friend who knows a lot, but is often busy because the drill instructors have minimal offline during cycles

3 years ago i got it so he is prob not there anymore. Back on topic, your best bet is to have your friend help you check it. I am gonna say clutch or a mount as my guess.

Just throwing this out there, but my chassis underbraces are off the car. I didn't get a chance to make it to lowes for washers for a temp fix.
Do you think that this could be a possibility?

Air in the system causes a very inconsistent release of the throw out bearing and an improperly adjusted clutch master will cause damage to a clutch.
I think you should also be asking if it's sprung or unsprung.
A clutch disc can be either no matter the style whether full face or puck style.
