5 speed transmission shake
I recently purchased a 2001 miata and the transmission will shake while going slow in first gear. I rebuilt the engine and examined the clutch and it seems to be ok. Re-installed into the car and the same problem is there. It only happens when the clutch isn't fully engaged in first gear. It will shake like crazy! Other than that it shifts nicely and doesn't shake under hard acceleration.
It must be something to do with the clutch system? I had bled the clutch and the slave cylinder was replaced few thousand miles ago.

There was an issue with the clutch material for the 01-02 years that can cause clutch shudder. Miata Technical Service Bulletin

Check your motor mounts, diff mounts, and PPF. Remember that a Miata trany is supported from the front by the motor and supported from the back by the PPF through the diff bushings. If you break the PPF the trany will try to escape the tunnel.
