Only just started to push the car a bit. It's got around 2000km on it, but when I shift around 5k, 5.5k rpm the clutch has a bunch of vibrations even though it's fully depressed. Is this normal? I thought everything was disengaged when the clutch was all the way down. Everything feels smooth below 4k rpm. Thanks.

Are these vibrations only felt in the clutch pedal? What is the magnitude of the vibration, what is shaking? Do you hear any noises while engaging and dis-engaging the clutch?

Only felt in the clutch pedal, nothing from the wheel or shifter. Magnitude of vibration is as if i was riding it on the friction point. I thought the first time it happened maybe i didn't fully depress the clutch, but the second time i intentionally ensured it was all the way down and held it there for a second longer than I had to before i got worried that I was burning up the clutch and clutched back in and eased it down.

You may be correct in that the clutch is not fully dis-engaging, there may be a compressible air bubble in the system that is not allowing the full travel of the slave cylinder.

So it sounds like no one else is really experiencing this so is it safe to assume it's not normal for clutch pedal vibration at higher rpm? I will check if the clutch is fully disengaging tonight.

Update: It doesn't seem to be clutch not disengaging. I put the car in gear from a standstill with clutch still fully depressed and revved it to 3k from a stop. With my foot still all the way on the clutch the car didn't move at all, so it doesn't seem to be on the friction point. The car doesn't push forward on rev matching either.

Has anyone else felt anything shifting at higher rpm that feels like vibration in the clutch pedal? There is no hint of it during normal driving or anything below 3k.

Any update on this

Any update on this

None, I ignored it and the car hasn't blown up or anything, so i dunno.

Anyone else with this issue? I have the same on my RS (2016). Vibrations in clutch pedal on high rpm, nothing under like 3,4 k. No other symptoms. 70 000 kilometers on car.

I guess with so few replies I can at least be sure that this is NOT normal? I mean if this was normal for the car of common we would have more replies here.
Since I only had the car for 6 weeks I have warranty from the dealer so I will try to make them take a look to see whats wrong. But that means that some random Ford technican needs to go out and drive the car hard to feel it... so thats not ideal for me as an owner but dont see any other way.

So I dont feel it when revving stand still, only when driving and accelerating and changing gears over like 5000 rpm.

Any thoughts?

Could possibly be the throw-out bearing going bad.
Also, in my quick read, you didn't mention if the car was completely stock or modded. How many KM or miles on it?
If it is modded, what are the mods?

 

[mikael.fang]

Car is stock. 70,000 kms.

@EnfinityX Hi, would be interesting to get an update from you. Did you do anything to get rid of your vibrations or still there? Have you got it checked by any dealer?

Thanks in advance.

 

[hyracer]

Check for a loose shield or guard underneath as well. The harmonics at hi-revs could cause vibrations if you have some loose parts rattling together.

 

[mikael.fang]

Thanks, thats a good tip!

 

[mikael.fang]

What I feel is mostly interesting is why doesnt it vibrate when the car is standing still. (in gear with clutch pused in)

Only when car is moving/when Im driving the car.

Just had my car testdriven by the dealer and he clearly said this is caused by the flywheel.

so change of flywheel soon.
