Why does the clutch vibrate when engaging first gear?

Why does the clutch vibrate when engaging first gear?

It vibrates until the clutch is fully engaged (which is almost an inch off the floor.) Did the mechanic do a poor job or am I simply not used to the new clutch? Edit: I just realized that the car always vibrated in reverse. Now it vibrates both when engaging first gear or reverse.

When does the car vibrate in reverse or first gear?

Edit: I just realized that the car always vibrated in reverse. Now it vibrates both when engaging first gear or reverse. Normally I would say that you need to get used to the clutch… but I don’t think that’s the case here, especially as you told me that the car still vibrates when you hold the clutch on the BITE.

How does IMA work on a Honda Insight?

Compared to a comparable internal-combustion-powered drivetrain, like that in a Honda Civic, the Insight’s IMA system boasts an impressive 24-percent improvement in efficiency in combined-mode city and highway driving, while meeting California’s stringent Ultra-Low Emission Vehicle (ULEV) standard.

How did I install the clutch on my car?

I installed the clutch, pressure plate, and flywheel myself with the guidance of an ASE certified mechanic. About 5,000+/-1k later and all is well. Thanks for contributing an answer to Motor Vehicle Maintenance & Repair Stack Exchange!
