Default Clutch problem

Hey guys,

Still learnin about my new Cobra here so go easy. Whenever Im coasting up to a light or sitting in neutral at a light my clutch pedal is vibrating like crazy. Its literally bouncing up and down. Am I just being paranoid or does something need to be tightened on the pedal? Also it has steeda pads on the pedals I donno if that matters, THANKS!

+1 do you hear any kinda chattering or squelling from underneath the car...throwout bearing can loose a bear and flop or even warp and that could cause the clutch cable to release and pull....maybe time to upgrade the clutch too!!

OK guys, sorry to ask so many stupid questions I think im just being paranoid. I contacted the previous owner and he said that the clutch was just replace like 15,000 miles ago and it installed a ford racing clutch with resurfaced flywheel. I have a new problem where everytime I shift into a gear it makes a loud CLUNK coming from the rear. What do you guys think this could be? I really hate shifting now because that clunk makes me feel like im going to break something. Thanks for any info on this.

even though it was 15 thousand miles ago that throwout bearing can still go....some people places cheap you out by not replacing it when doing the clutch....mine clunks real hard but thats cause i have hard bushings in the rear....it can also clunk if the bushings are shot

if thats the problem then itll be no more then 20 and you can prolly get a set for right around a hundred with all bushings
