It's not the driveshaft and it's not the transmission because it has the same vibration in neutral without the car moving. I believe it's either the engine or the clutch causing this vibration. I was wondering if anyone has experienced this issue? I only notice it at right around 1,800 RPM. Any ideas? Could this be caused by a malfunctioning hydraulic valve lifter? Could the pressure plate/clutch be out of balance?

Before making any changes, take all the belts off-loose. That will eliminate a cooling fan-clutch and strange harmonics with alternator etc…
