Little vibration after new clutch install.

[2000BlueJ]

Installed my Vr6/G60 clutch kit over the weekend and now there is some vibration when you just barely engage the clutch. No vibration while driving or while idling its just when you slowly let out the pedal and the clutch starts to engage. Is this common with new clutches and they just need a little time to wear in? Normal shifting you can't feel it, only in 1st if I let it out slow enough.

Did the kit come with a new flywheel?

 

[2000BlueJ]

Yes, 22# single mass

Should also add new release lever, fork and ball, and throw out bearing. It's not something I'm losing sleep over I'm just curious if its normal with a brand new clutch.

By vibration do you mean judder? Clutches need to bed/wear-in a bit when new. Don't get it hot for several hundred miles meaning no racing-type starts or extended 'feathering' of the clutch. I'd give it a while before worrying.

That's what I figured, just wanted to make sure. Thanks!

Mine judders and there is a vibration in the clutch pedal. My clutch is 20 000km old and is the same kit you have. Not impressed by its smoothness...
