Vibrating Clutch Pedal

sounds like you have slack in the cable between the firewall adjuster and the pedal. Have you adjusted it?

Well. I have turned the firewall adjuster and locked it so that i dont have to push the darn pedal almost to the floor to engage/disengage the clutch...
Right now the engagement point is where i like it...But the pedal vibrates...

So yea i think the clutch is adjusted...how do you know if it is not adjusted or not? and how would I take that slack out...?

Jesus bro, sorry I'm not hanging on your every post.
Is the clutch fully disengaging? Put the ass end up on jack stands, start er up, put it into gear - do the rear tires turn?
lol.

I will check that..Thanks haha

oh and How do you take teh slack up..............??
 
Slide underneath the car and remove the little cover on the front of the trannie where the cable comes into it. See if it's an adjustable cable - check at the clutch fork end, where, hopefully, you would finda length of threaded cable and a couple of nuts. Loosen these nuts, and adjust so there is very little or no slack. The rest you can do from the firewall adjuster.
Also, we added a $20 Maximum Motorsport clutch pedal adjuster to move the pedal, then did the above descibed procedure to tune, then fine tune the engagement point. (The issue we had was the engagement point was out near the end of the clutch pedal travel and the travel was way too long - kness were hitting the steering wheel!)
It takes some patience and screwing around to get it right...and you'll still have to pedodically tune with the firewall adjuster (as cables do stretch and clutches do wear). But in the end, you'll be an expert with this...at least, at this point, I feel like I am. Heck, so is my wife. She knows where she likes the clutch and how to adjust to get it where she wants. (What a turn on!) LOL
 
ok it sounds like he has all the slack out. if it was that loose he would have to go all the way too the floor to realese the clutch. back the adjsutment off a little( loosen it) and see if it goes away. if not get back too us.

this sounds strange too me because 99 percent of the time the clutch will do that because the cable is too loose.
