A couple Odd things about my Clutch

40 to 332 · 11-22-2014, 07:35 PM

I replaced the OEM CSC with the ZSpeed HD CSC simply as a precautionary measure in order to avoid being stranded in the event of failure of the OEM unit. The CMC was changed at the same time, as recommended. Also installed the ZSpeed insulated SS clutch line and used Motul 600 RBF as the fluid. Since then I've noticed very slight vibrations through the clutch pedal when shifting at higher rpms (3500 - 4,000). Not sure what the vibrations signal … but there appears to some similarity with your symptoms, at least in terms of the vibrations. I plan to get it checked out when I remove the vehicle from winter storage next spring. Not sure if this simply confuses the issue … but I'm also looking for any advice from others. I'm a little perplexed as to how the CSC could cause vibrations travelling to the clutch pedal … but I guess strange things can happen. A number of CSC failures have been reported … but I haven't seen any mention of vibrations being experienced before the CSC let go … besides my CSC is brand new and heavy-duty.
