03 vivaro transmission problem

Him can anyone help with this :
my van had a small leak - i thought it was gear box but was just a cylinder in the clutch. So got a whole clutch unit fixed at the price of 600 euro - but when i got it back every time i go through the gears mostly 3rd im getting a lot of vibration through the dash - feels like the whole thing's gonna fall out on top of me.
brought it back to the shop i got it fixed in, and was told it had nothing to do with them that they didn't cause it. felt like going through the man because all that was wrong before was a tiny leak, but if anyone has any suggestions on what it could be, it would be a big help
Thanks

Sounds like dmf trouble. However, don't quote me as I'm not very familiar with the Vivaro and it's variants. I hope it's not as it's an expensive bill.

im pretty sure they give gearbox trouble

If its a six speed gearbox then their very prone to failure. Did you have the dmf replaced or just the clutch and release bearing?
Just to be safe I'd check the gearbox mounts and also gearbox oil level, they take 2.4 litres, not the 1.6 litres our local garage put in ours.

ye it six speed gear box and gear box was done 2 year ago but i will check gear box oil hopefully it just needs a topping up

Gearbox oil needs to be changed at the same time as the engine oil if you want the 'box to last.
Common problem on these.
