Anyone know why a clutch fork would vibrate? I can grab it when the car isn't running and move it back and forth a little. It doesn't look like the throw out bearing is the culprit since it stays pretty much in place.

im not sure i understand what you mean.the cluth fork is supposed to move,it slides front to back as well as the throwout bearing.
I swear the last time I was under my stang it was tight one way and a little bit of slack on the other.
My did the same thing, just adjust the clutch and it not viberate any more ?
Since we on tranny thread, if i move my shifter to the right it stay their and will not go back to the middle, and if I move my shifter to the right it will go back to the middle my itself. any opinion ?

No...side to side movement. Enough that it vibrates and I can feel it through the floor. It gets really bad in fifth at speed.

Well that didn't work. Broke the clutch cable.
that was your prob. any time you get play in the fork and is not the throw out bearing, the cable needs to be adjusted or you have a stretched or bad cable

Throw out bearing. If it isn't going out then you may quiet it down with some lithium grease.
I'm starting to wonder if the noise is always caused by the TOB or if, in some cases, the clutch cable needs to be adjusted.
Were you using the stock cable? (the one that broke) ..

the T/O bearing is new, along with everything else down there. fork is old, but wasn't worn badly. It seems like there must be a spring that keeps a little tension on it (like GMs) so it doesn't rattle but I couldn't find one.
It was an original cable. I hope it isn't the fork but I guess if it is I can take the time to replace the cheap throw out bearing Spec has with there clutch and put in a quality piece.
185K on the car...I know the cable was old so it isn't an issue really I'm just hoping I don't have to pull the tranny. If I do I'm getting another but I don't have the cash for that just yet.
So the Steeda cable seems to be crap...it broke today. 
The liner actually split where it goes into the firewall causing slack in the cable and leaving me in traffic, unable to get it into gear until I slowed nearly to a stop. It looked to be in a bit of a bind but it was the only way I could route it and still place the mounting bracket in it's proper place. Looks like it was too long from the mounting bracket to the firewall so maybe I have the wrong one? The only number I could find on it doesn't match anything Steeda sells but maybe I'm not looking in the right place. I think I'll make a trip to the shop I picked it up from and get them to figure out what happened.
