Noob!

Just bought my 09 Fit Monday! 28k miles
Love it!
Just noticed a small vibration in the clutch pedal today @ >4k rpms
is this normal or or just because of the higher revs?

I've been driving an automatic Wrangler for the last 6 years

The vibration is probably just the transmission shaft. But it sounds like you're riding your clutch... you should only have your foot on it when shifting. Press, shift, release. Therefore, any vibration while shifting is then more likely because of the clutch itself (as the pads grip the friction plate).

While I understand the thought that having your foot on the cluch can be beneficial if you are in an emergency and need to shift, I normally just have my left foot on the dead pedal.

Thanks for the input. I'm not riding it though. I only press to shift. I only feel it at high rpms when it almost all the way to the floor with pressure on it. Not during the transition. But good to know that it doesn't sound like a problem.
