OK, since I'm newish to this sort of work, I'll ask a few obvious questions here... Thanks again for helping me out.

My understanding of how to check the lube in the transmission is to remove the plug in the side of the transmission and stick my finger in there one knuckle deep and feel for the lubrication level. Is that method accurate?

Also if the pilot bushing is seizing. Clutch and pressure plate contamination or defective can cause the vibrations you're having

Having just replaced the clutch several months ago, this should be easy to check out. It's possible that I screwed something up, but I don't think I did.

Assuming the clutch checks out, what steps will I need to take to investigate if the input shaft bearings in the transmission are worn down?
