Depressed Clutch Noise/Vibration
 

I recently started noticing a weird vibrating sensation, as well as weird clicking sound when the clutch is depressed(Pedal pushed in). I have about 3,000 miles on the car. This happens when I start up the car and in neutral. If I give it a rev over 2k rpm, the sound/sensation goes away. I am not sure if this is normal or not, since I seem to be having the exactly opposite issue as most. I did some searches, and most of the posts are in regards to chatter with the clutch (which should go away when the clutch is depressed). Of course, these symptoms only happen when the car is on, so I do not think it is the pedal itself. Sorry if I am explaining it wrong. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hey, yeah this is normal. You get vibration in the clutch pedal and also slight knocking too like something is hitting it.... it's weird but it's normal lol

Yup, I get the same thing. I think the vibration is pretty normal and the knocking sound seems to usually happen when you depress the clutch a little early or at certain moments or speeds .. If this is what your talking about it happens to most of us I think, if not all. But, if this is not what your talking about and your still concerned bring your car in to get it checked. Hope this helped.

^^^ I noticed the knocking.. rather a loud knocking sound... if I press the clutch too early.. and it usually happenes when I am shifting form the 1st to 2nd... so should I assume its normal?

Normal.

I noticed around 3k there was a small thud every now and then, lasted about 1k before it went away, guess it takes a bit to break er' in.

i haven't experienced what you described but i'm still breaking in the car (1,000 mi) maybe it would occur later on :)

mine makes that noise when i press the clutch pedal a little. it was like that from day one for me. even on the other z i test drove.

Thanks a lot guys for the feedback. I will still bring it in to the dealership sometime next week. I just wanted to make sure before I waste my time. I started noticing the mushy, vibrating feeling recently due to the cold weather. Unfortunately, it is not supposed to be sunny for a couple days before I test that theory. Thanks again!

Did you say cold weather? San Jose? how does that work?:icon18:

Global cooling :-P. But relatively speaking, it was warm for about 3 days, then got cooler.

It happens to me too and I thought it was because its my first time driving stick !!

Haha. I guess I'm Spoiled by the weather here.

I just took my car out again. I noticed that if I push the clutch pedal all the way down and hold it there in neutral, with the motor on, I can feel and hear the noise. I guess it is normal? Thanks.
