I have a 2004 RX8.
I recently have been experiencing clutch pedal vibration.
This vibration is pulsing and only exist when I'am releasing the clutch i.e Shifting to a gear and then releasing the clutch...Thats when i feel it.
No vibration when putting it into neutral and releasing and also no vibration when just pressing in and out of the clutch. No werid noises. The vibration kind of got worse over the week. The car does not shake and I just wanted opinions on what's wrong and how much this might cost to fix.

ALSO a problem with my shifter. 1st and 2nd gear feels loose compared to 3,4,5,6. It shifts fine and its still smooth but it feels fragile and just worries me.

Thanks

How many miles on the clutch? The pedal brackets on our cars are also known to break at the welds, yours could be on its way out.

Not sure about the mileage but clutch isnt slipping if that matters. If the bracket is the problem do you know the outcome of it. As in the price for parts/labor. I have no warranty.

One vendor here has TWO options for you. If you know someone that welds you can have your pedal fixed. I purchased a fixed pedal from BHR but I am not sure if they still offer that service.

Is this something that should be immediately fixed?

If your clutch pedal snaps you are stuck, will not be able to shift into gear. But I am not saying that is the cause of your issue. It is just a known problem that even NHTSA is looking into.
If you get it fixed yourself the below thread will be helpful.

Something I should get fixed right away?... Probably not a cheap fix

Any ideas on my shifter problem?
