clutch tremble?

I recently put a new clutch in my evo 8 and it was fine for a few weeks but recently it started to make the clutch pedal tremble between 2400-2800rpms. ive driven it a few hundred miles like this and it persists but doesnt get worse.

what could be the problem? or what does this mean? im no expert on clutches seeing as ive only changed maybe 4 in my life and never encountered this problem before.

thanks for any advice or help in advance

Clutch pedal tremble at 2400-2800--- need to ask, whats your foot doing on the clutch pedal at those rev's? and if it is---there is your problem, riding the clutch and now you have hot spots or warpage causing clutch jitter on engagement.

So your clutch is shagged?

Could be worse mate, I had a rattle on my clutch pedal when loading, booked the car in for a Exedy Twin HD at £1200 fitted. Car was in bits and the mechanic came out and gave me a 5oz stone that was sitting on my gearbox vibrating. There was me thinking my clutch was abot to go pop, the OEM was under half worn

I'm guessing he tuned the car on race gas now his clutch is slipping.
