300tdi - new clutch - now engine vibration

[selectcase]

I replaced the clutch on my 300tdi with a valeo oe replacement and now at around 2100 - 2500rpm i get an engine vibration through the gearstick. the engine note changes as well with a kind of droan if that makes sense like the baffles in the exhause are on the way out but i have replaced it. its not the uj's as its rpm related not speed related and i have checked that no exhaust parts or anything else is touching the body. I have read that these clutches can be fitted "out of balance" has anyone else come across this:(

yes i think it might be as well - damm annoying having to take it apart again just to rotate 180 degrees - i am suprised it not a more common problem reported?

as it says its a very old tech buillitin
never heard of having to do that on any other clutch and have fitted a few
