On occasion when taking off from a stop in 1st gear I sometimes feel a slight vibration/pulsing feeling in the clutch pedal when disengaging it. It kind of feels similar to the feeling a brake pedal makes when the abs activates on a hard stop. I'd say it might do this 1 or 2 times out of every 30 or so times I start moving. Anybody else notice this? My car has 21,000 miles and I'm using the stock clutch. I do open it up from time to time and I do have to deal with a lot of stop and go traffic on the three days I go in to Dallas.

I might be feeling something similar.
I have 53K on my car, and sometimes when it's cold, during stop and go driving...I think the clutch isn't grabbing until the pedal is almost all the way out. At that point, I feel a little bit of "judder" or something, and it grabs and goes. I sometimes leave the line around 1K RPM and I know that's a tad low, so I will give it gas to about 1500 RPM, and pay more attention to the clutch pedal.
As the car is warmed up, this problem does not show itself. I think it's from slow, stop and go driving (over time) that may have done something to the way it works. Sometimes I think "I should get a new clutch!" but then other times it feels totally fine.
My car has never been abused (burnouts, etc)...so I'm hoping I can get to 100K or something before I need to replace it.
