Re: cant get over 2500 rpm
did you check the harmonic balancer on the front of the motor? it has to be something on or in the engine or the flywheel/clutch if it does it in any gear. what is the overall condition of the motor, does it need a tuneup?

Re: cant get over 2500 rpm
If the engine or flywheel were swapped out recently, my money's on the flywheel being either out of balance or the wrong wheel for the engine.
Are you sure this problem doesn't exist at idle? If this is an unbalanced condition, it should start at idle and get progressively worse. How's it seem above 3K?

Re: cant get over 2500 rpm
i did this too, i have a v6 rs and replaced the old torn up grease filled on with a polly one, i get vibrations from 2500 and higher, but it changes randomly sometime the vibrations almost go away, i thing its the clutch because it has release problems once in a while and my throw out bearing is goin bad, also get a vibration from high drivline speed after the trans, thinken of changing to the 4th gen drive shaft
