Title: Should I feel vibration in the clutch?
Post by: lukemk5gti on March 27, 2017, 09:57:13 am

Noticed on a long motorway drive home that I could feel a slight vibration if I barely depressed the clutch.

I was pressing it down so slightly that the cruise control wouldn't cut off....

Should I feel vibration?

It's normal, but you shouldn't be pressing lightly/resting foot on the clutch whilst driving - you'll kill it very quickly

I never would, foot is always resting when using cruise control.

I got a dead leg and when I moved it over I could feel the vibration!

Normal anyway is good.
