Default Clutch Vibration When Cold

Mornings have just now started to get cold here in Michigan, and I have noticed that my clutch pedal vibrates/pulses as I'm letting it out. Once the car and clutch warms up it goes away.

Anyone else having this? Is it a bad thing or a sign of wear?

The clutch is stock. Just under 15,000 miles.

The way you describe it sounds as if it's clutch chatter, where the pedal feels as though it's shaking upon release as you give it gas. Sometimes you can get clutch chatter from a fatigued part, bad design, or just bad break in sometimes over wearing it.

When i had my mt-82 and stock clutch it started doing the same thing so in the process of putting a supercharger on I replaced the clutch with a spec 2+ clutch. It made a world of difference. I have since gone to a tremec and now that new clutch i had in my mt-82 is for sale! Let me know if You want it. It has 3000 miles on it! Pm me for the details!

Does the car buck or is it just the pedal? Try starting in second gear. Sounds odd.
