help urgent

Postby fiorasyndra1 » Thu Jan 24, 2019 5:12 pm

As the title states - what would cause a vibration in the clutch pedal? The vibration is rpm dependant and felt while driving, not shifting. The vibration increases with rpm not mph. If im cruising and i rest my foot very lightly on the clutch pad i can feel a vibration coming from the pedal that increases with rpm. The vibration is in the clutch pedal only, not the floor or other pedal. My mechanic told me the vibration is there because some foundation bolt are broken and to fix the issue he need to pull out the whole engine. please help me URGENT!!!!

Hi and welcome to the forum fiorasyndra1 .
I apologise for being straight to the point but the X308 does not have a clutch pedal because it has no clutch I'm afraid.
Unless you have converted it to manual transmission,if that is the case let us know how you did it.
Would make an interesting article :) .
If you haven't done that you either have an earlier model or you are referring to something different.
Good luck anyway.
Andy :)

I suspect you have an X300 with a manual gearbox. I would suspect a 'Clutch' related problem, and it to be a 'balance' type of problem. You need to provide more info, model, mileage. I would suspect the clutch is maybe worn, or perhaps as bad as the pressure-plate-fingers being damaged. Perhaps the clutch friction-plate is close to being worn-out, or the release-bearing starting to give-up. Because the vibration is coming through your clutch-pedal, I would thing it's a clutch problem, so just the gearbox would need to be removed. If you did this job yourself, the price of a 'clutch-kit' and a few other 'normal' replacement items would be your only cost. However if you need to put the car to a garage, it could be very expensive. More details would help.
