Am I correct in assuming...

Yep, pretty much. I think once he pulls the tunnel and starts taking stuff apart he's going to spot something that has come loose, be it pressure plate, flywheel, or what have you. We had a thread a year or two ago about aluminum flywheels and bolts backing out of them. You can check the torque on your pressure plate bolts through the fork hole -- I know because I took some shots of me doing just that for that thread. But if he disconnects the trans and revs it and it vibrates, and it still vibrates with the pressure plate and driven disk sitting on the shop floor (and the flywheel bolts are nice and tight), then it's engine related.
