Ok Philo... I'm already taking the car apart this weekend... then you want me to put it back together and then possibly take it appart again?! Are you kidding me! LOL... I don't think so... If I can't figure out what's wrong when I have it apart this weekend... this sucker is going to AA *beep, beep* MCO... believe it.
I have already decided that this is the last time I'm replacing the clutch on this car myself... I'm going to let someone else hassle with it when I hit 200K miles..
So that's the plan... tear it down, replace the fork and the pivot, check the bearing, and inspect the other parts for defects. Do you think the pedal vibration could be coming from a bad throwout bearing AND a bent fork?
The tranny is fine right now... I've been up-shifting without using the clutch this week, and stopped down shifting when rolling to a stop.
If I don't get a reply from you or someone else tomorrow, then I will post on Monday with our findings.
Thanks again for your attention here and your suggestions.
