Vibrating clutch pedal

Hello guys ,

just wanted to share my experience with this vibrating clutch pedal that i was having. Symptoms i was having was the engine tilting downwards towards the trans, wont go into gear, vibrating pedal all the time while the engine is running, and loss of clutch pedal pressure (spongy feeling as well). Found out that i only had two bolts holding the trans to the engine and a sketchy improvised bolt with a couple washers to hold it on. I also found one of the trans to engine bolt (broken) sitting on top of the trans. This was the one that was sitting right beneath thermostat housing. Here’s a few pics of what the loose trans did to exedy twin hd clutch.

Thanks for sharing this info! By the way I found that those bolts tends to rust a lot faster so its worth to check them from time to time. I already lost two of them.

"Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me." The seller is the dumb** and an a**hole for doing that to you. All you can do now is pick up the parts and start over. At least you know what's going on now and depending on the power levels you plan to achieve, the clutch replacement may not be that expensive.
