Clutch vibration
Hi Guys,
On my way out for lunch today (a 2km drive), I stared to feel vibration in the clutch pedal. It started around 1/2 way through my drive. When I drove back from lunch the car was fine. It this an early indicator that my clutch is about to pack it in.

Re: Clutch vibration
Yes vibration is only when I press the clutch pedal and I felt the vibration through the clutch pedal only. The passengers in my car (at the time) said that they did not feel anything.

Re: Clutch vibration
How many km do u have on u car?
After soe millage it's normal u can feel some vibration when u press clutch pedal to the floor. Clutch release bearings are factory lubricated but worn pilot bearing may also produce noises when the clutch is pressed.
People reports hearing a scraping, clunking, or squeaking sound when the clutch pedal is moved up or down. This is a good sign of a worn or unlubricated clutch release mechanism. With the engine off, pump the pedal and listen for the sound. Once the source of the sound is located, you should clean, lubricate, or replace the parts as required.
Sounds produced from the clutch, when the clutch is initially ENGAGED, are generally due to friction disc problems, such as a worn clutch disc facing, which causes a metal-to-metal grinding sound. A rattling or a knocking sound may be produced by weak or broken clutch disc torsion springs. These sounds indicate problems that require the removal of the transmission and clutch assembly for repair.
If clutch noises are noticeable when the clutch is DISENGAGED, the trouble is most likely the clutch release bearing. The bearing is probably either worn, binding, or, in some cases, loses its lubricant.

Re: Clutch vibration
As Matt stated, if the vibration is only when you disengage the clutch, then it's likely the throwout bearing. The tranny has to come out to replace it, so it's obviously a good time to do the clutch and flywheel as well. I'd change the rear main seal as well, but if they're not leaking, some people like to leave them alone to avoid possible installation error; which, necessitates doing the entire job over again.
