Hey guys.. Took the VP for a drive tonight. ( has VS V6 5speed running gear ) And I highly doubt this is normal but as I get going I can feel a vibration through the clutch. Only way I seem to be able to explain it is that it feels like the pedal is resting on a gear and it bumps with every notch on the gear. I'm not experienced in manuals so I have no idea if this is major or minor.. Any help would be appreciated.
in neutral and when idling is there a noise when your foot is no where near the clutch pedal? now if you rest your foot on the clutch pedal and slowly start pressing it down all the way to the floor (still in neutral and not touching the go pedal) is there a noise? out of all your cars none have been manuals?
There's more of a rattle but I was told its the exhaust knocking on the body and Asoon as I touch the accelerator it goes away. With your question, nothing. Nothing Unusual when my foots off the clutch nor on. Apart from the feeling I'm getting through the clutch and that's only while moving. Sadly yes.. No car I've owned has been a manual apart from a Camry and a land cruiser.
maybe get the car up on some ramps and check the engine/gearbox mounts and the tailshaft (unis, center bearing etc), the vibration doesn't feel like it's in sync with the exhaust hitting the body noise?
