Default 97 obs vibrating???

When my 97 is is idling it vibrates in the dash area pretty bad, i can tell its from the motor becuase you can feel the idle go up and down. It has always vibrated but not as bad as it is now and it just started a few days ago. Any ideas???

do you know if you have the original flywheel? cause if you do, it was a 2 piece flywheel a primary and secondary, and what happens is the bolts start coming loose and the flywheel comes apart and breaks the bell housing and other things up. The one in my other 94 is doing the same thing and that's what it is

Im not sure if i have the original flywheel or not but it does kinda effect the sound when i push the clutch in and out

also if they are loose is there any way of getting in there without pulling the tranny?

I'm not too forsure, you might be able to take the cover plate off and look, but it would be easier with the tranny out so you can take the clutch off and look, but do that minus well put in a solid flywheel so then you won't ever have that problem again

i went and talked to the guy who did my clutch and he said he is pretty sure he put a new flywheel in there and got rid of the dual mass one. He told me it might be a loose mount, keep in mind that i drive on alot of dirt roads and they are very bad at keeping them maintained.
