Rusty, Sorry I haven't updated on this issue. Thanks for your suggestions.
When I put the new front motor mount in I was looking at the gravel/dust shields. It makes no sense to me the way they are istalled in the car. Starting at the front they are mounted below the motor mount, this mounts them directly to the frame. Then they are attached to the frame rails down either side. But then the rear portion has holes in them that match up to threaded sockets in either side of the bell housing. If you but these bolts in to stabilize the dust pans you make a direct connection from the frame to the engine.
I don't know what the effect of this connection is because I have tried it both ways, with the bolts in and with the bolts out, and it doesn't change the vibration.
I took the bell housing clutch cover off and don't see anything wrong there.
My next project is to take the engine out and have the clutch and flywheel checked for balance. At the same time I can also mount the engine in a stand and run it to check for vibration independent of the car. By having it out I can also check the rubber portion of the bell housing mounts.
If all that fails I guess it is pull the engine down and do a balance job on the complete engine.
See my other post about radiator belch.
Thanks for your suggestions and Happy Motoring.
