The pressure plate would clamp the disc in a particular position, posibly as crooked as the worn pilot bushing would allow. This would cause maximum run out of the input shaft. Step on the clutch, input shaft floats, no runout created. I think.

Or maybe ;>) Clutch engaged, the vibes are transmitted to the flywheel. then to the bellhousing, which acts as a megaphone, amplifying the noise. Clamping a 'C' clamp 2/3rds of the way up the PTO lever would kill the node, dampening the harmonics of the engine/tranny/bellhousing assembly. Of course, that may cost you gas milage. It's just got to be easier to push a vibrating weight down the road than a dead weight... ;>)
