So it would seem that my vibration issue is more related to the clutch disk being out of alignment since it was installed with the inadequate plastic alignment tool that comes with the kit. I don't remember how much play there was when I first installed the SBC clutch, but from a handful of videos, it would seem there is substantial play that can easily lead to misalignment. I don't fully understand how that works since I would expect a misaligned clutch disk to essentially realign itself on the input shaft after the first time the pressure plate is disengaged, but maybe someone can educate me on how that works.

I'm trying to find a billet or forged metal clutch alignment tool that is not a universal alignment tool, but not having much luck. It's a bit surprising since this would seem to be quite a common problem, unless people just deal with it and don't worry about it.

So does anyone know where to buy a billet or forged metal clutch alignment tool for the BRZ/FR-S?
