Clutch Pedal Buzzzzz

[SallySpeed3]

Ok so since the installation of my TRZ tranny mount which is awesome by the way, I've had horrible buzzing from the clutch pedal. Granted the noise and vibes have gone down somewhat since the install, but the pedal buzzes like crazy. Usually when downshifting or cruising. Just putting my foot on it lightly stops the sound. I guess my questions are, has this happened to anyone else? and is there a way to stop it?

trans mount is the fastest way to add unwanted vibes to the cabin, especially since it's a TRZ mount, which ain't the most subtle. Cures? Go back to a stock mount? There just isn't going to be a quick fix for this, unfortunately. That's why I decided against going that way myself, as this is my DD.

Or get a cp-e 60 version, which will be much ligther in vibes than the TRZ.

nah I wouldn't suggest CP-E's 60 either, I would also suggest going back to stock, with your mods why did you change it?? it's just going to make your car drive and vibe like crazy..!! Shyt I've had my 60 duro RMM and even after close to 5K on it, the damn thing still vibes like crazy and resinates inside the cabin whenever the damn a/c kicks in....I will be going back to my CS MMI once it warms up .

you just happened to have a perfect storm of harmonics

break that cycle somehow.
change the weight of the pedal
try a stiff grease in the pedal pivot
put a washer between the pivot bracket and the floorboard

In response to spdjnke, Having now driven my car with the TRZ mount theres no way I'm going back even if it is just my daily driver. The engine doesn't move at all, shifting is smooth, feels very grounded. The harder you floor it the more the car glues to the road, I love it. Unforunately, yes, it causes some noise.

Thanks meicalnissyen, I'll give some of that a shot. Might be a dumb idea but I might even try just wrapping the pedal with some double sided tape. The slightest touch caused the sound to stop so I'm thinking maybe it just needs something to absorb the vibes.

You could just try a very light tension spring (any hardware store) and hook one end to a hole in the pedal arm and the other under the dashboard somewhere. With light enough tension there'll be no pedal pressure effect and it might just stop the vibe.
