Clutch pedal vibration

JerseyTrueBlue · January 18th, 2010, 05:20 PM

Well I just installed the steeda firewall adjuster, cable, and quadrant package and so far I'm pretty happy however I'm getting a lot of vibration in the pedal when it's realeased. It's so much that it's making a loud clicking, but if i just rest my foot on it, it smooths out and goes away. Anyone have any experience with adjusting these to make this stop? Overall feel is good and I have the height at a good spot I just cannot make it stop shaking for the life of me and it only gets worse the higher the rpms.

With the top on your foot push up on the clutch pedal for a few seconds. Then push it all the way down and you should hear a click. This should adjust your clutch.

not with an aftermarket quandrant. Your probably getting a rattle because of the slack in the pedal. Mine is like that. I can put my toe under it and pull it towards me about .5-.75 inches. Some places make a clutch stop that will keep it from coming back

if i get the pedal height adjuster will i have to re run the cable and everything after adjusting the height? wouldnt this keep riding the clutch and burn it out quicker?

wont hurt the clutch per say but the TOB wont like you very much lol where the quadrand contacts the stock metal under the dash I think Im jus gonna glue a thin piece of rubber to it....that should get rid of the rattling...prob still bounce though lol
