Question Do I need a new clutch?

Hello Everyone, I seem to be getting alot of vibration from my clutch pedal when my car is on. When i put my foot on slightly the car makes a noise. When its fully engaged i dont hear a noise. Someone said it could be the throw-out bearing? The clutch doesnt seem to be slipping when i get on it. Any help would be appreciated. My mod list is in my sig. Thanks.

Thanks for the info. So would it be better to replace the whole clutch since they have to take the tranny out regardless? And how long is it ok to drive on the clutch like that? Btw i have an ACT 3200

Clutch was replaced in 11/2008. I would say about 10000 to 20000 miles. Not that many miles. No tracking events. Just stop and go L.A. traffic.

Didn't replcace the TOB at that time? Bearings dont' last as long if you use the clutch a lot.... IE. LA stop and go traffic, or if you sit at stop lights with your foot on the clutch.

The whole kit was purchased and installed. New kit comes with the throw-out bearing.

Its an ACT clutch and an ACT tob? or just an ACT clutch and an OEM tob?

Either way...replace both OEM tob's are pretty much suggested on every application unless the clutch is a push clutch and a hydraulic tob is used.
