I definitely think I do from time to time. I think it occurs when I am engine braking in 2nd or 3rd and disengaging. Anyone else?

Yeah I do, especially when I'm slowly letting out the clutch, much more so then engaging the clutch.

Sometimes. It might shudder a bit if I let the RPM drop too low when I clutch-in before coming to a stop. On normal up or down shifts with the RPM well above the stall point, no.

I have this problem sometimes. I think the RJM clutch bracket fixes that issue as well.

Lubricate the pedal pivots points from time to time.. It might be binding up.

I get some in the shifter when coasting in gear. I think its the LSD engaging. Usually if you feel any vibrations its normal. If it is sever vibrations that might be a problem. But think about it, when you engage the clutch, it is coming into contact with a rotating mass...your bound to feel something

Cool, thanks for the feedback!

My guess was that its feedback from the pressure plate & clutch through the CSC to your foot. The reason the pressure plate and clutch would vibrate would be to slipping and catching on high spots or heat spots on flywheel or pressure plate. I think I'll just not worry about it seeing as how most of you have similar vibes.

Yep, I do feel some vibrations. This just makes me think about how much more I would enjoy my car if it wasn't for the poor tranny and clutch combo nissan gave us. Such a noisy transmission and poor engaging clutch.

I think the tranny and clutch (itself) are fine. Its the hydraulic system around the clutch that's bad. The plastic clutch slave cylinder that's prone to failure and the poor clutch master cylinder that's always trying to compensate.

Not sure how many manual transmission cars you've owned, but Vibrations on a clutch pedal are normal. Every car behaves differently. Nissan's have juddering gear shifters, its known. Mitsubishi's require you to use your whole damn arm to shift gears (and you better be precise, its all or nothing). These are just the caveats to the car...nothing to be concerned about IMO.

I never daily drove a manual transmission car before my G. To be honest, its the first m/t car I've driven more than 4 times.

My 2014 Coupe 6MT has an extremely noticeable updated slave cylinder. The clutch uptake on my 2014 is far more improved than my 2012 Sedan.
