You first need to adjust the clutch cable. Use the toe of your left shoe and pull up on the pedal, then push it down. If this clicks it was just out of adjustment, if not and the pedal still vibrates, I would say it was something to do with the install of the clutch and flywheel.

I don't think a misadjusted cable will cause pedal vibration. This almost sounds like either the flywheel or the pressure plate is not torqued down properly and is wobbling somehow, which gets transmitted thru the clutch release bearing/level to the clutch cable. If that is the case, you should be able to see the release lever move as you turn the engine over while looking at it from the bottom...
