Pedal Vibratation. Need Sherlock Holmes

I need some help to figure this one out. Dealer wont do anything so here we go..

clutch pedal vibrates from 2500 to 3000 rpm (lightly touching clutch with left foot)

clutch pedal will vibrate if I press down on clutch (hold), then press gas pedal to that rpm range.

gas pedal will not vibrate if I push on it till that rpm range

Gas pedal will vibrate quite a bit around 75 mph to 80 mph then somewhat go away

If I'm in neutral at these speeds there is no vibration gas or clutch

freinds have given these possible problems, but I would like to narrow this down

- Wheel out of balance, alignment.
- Wheel Bearing, seems more vibration in Pedal when turning RIGHT
- Flywheel out of balance
- Bad Clutch
- Motor or transmission mount which would explain vibration and clutch feel as well as the slight clunk feel sometimes experienced when changing gears or c/v u joints.
- Late clutch release/engagement point which might explain rough clutch release or clunk feel when changing gears. Also can view wear in carpet without floor mats, where the clutch pedal meets the floor. This wear demonstrates clutch is reaching the floor.
- Coils or spark plugs not working properly, which would explain vibration in gas pedal (though this would most likely be given a CEL light.)
- Loss of compression in a particular cylinder.
- Hydraulic System not working properly.
- Hydraulic Pipe touching something
- Exhaust System Touching Something
- Loose Under Carriage
- Engine and drivetrain not lined up correctly

I will try and collect some more symptoms though if anyone wants me to try something out I will

narrowed it down more for you.


If it does it at idle not moving remove the top two.

Bad t.o.b. or input shaft bearing.

awesome


no it does not happen at idle.

though I just went ot and compared it to my friends

at idle they both sound and engine moves the same (vibration)

when I rev to 3000 rpm mine has a somewhat rough sound to it and the car shakes noticeably more.

checked mounts and they look ok, Only 11k miles on the car

any more help

how would you think a bad t.o.b comes into play?

thanks

any idea how it would jump from being a clutch pedal problem at a certain rpm
then turn into more of a gas pedal problem at a certain speed?
