Thanks for weighing in. I appreciate you taking the time to read through!At first glace at the thread title my first thought was flywheel. Now after reading it all, I still say flywheel.

If it's worse with the new mount, I have to agree on flywheel. There is a reason we go to single mass.So after driving to work this morning (45mins all highway) I actually think it is a bit worse now with the new dogbone. Not a huge amount but maybe 10-15% more buzz feeling through at the wheel/shifter (don't think clutch feel has changed). Which isn't unreasonable I guess since the new rubber is probably stiffer than the worked-in rubber from the old mount. But if a new OEM mount is making the vibration at the wheel/shifter worse then that's telling me that the engine itself is vibrating more than it should and it is not a problem with a mount transmitting too much vibration (I only have 1 left to replace anyways). Which leaves me with what possibilities?
DMF? (always a possibility)
Poor timing? (how do I diagnose that? engine runs like butter so this seems unlikely)
Poor injection timing? (I don't have a VAGCOM but it was adjusted a few months ago by a local TDI guru and I couldn't feel a difference)
Slightly bent rod? (engine runs like butter - this seems unlikely)
Anything else?
No, I don't rest my foot on the clutch during the course of regular driving. That's just when the vibration can be felt strongly.I've kept up on this thread, but I don't recall anyone addressing the concept of "resting" one's foot on the clutch. Yes, you'll have some vibration with that, and no, you really shouldn't ever do that IMHO.
Sorry if not helpful, but there are cheaper options out there like the LUK DMF Clutch & Flywheel Kit.
