I have had this issue with my 2013 Boss since new but it has come and gone. I wonder if anyone can shed some light on the problem. Forgive my ignorance as I am way out of my element here.
I dont track the car and generally am not rough on it. At about 1000 miles I felt a vibration through the clutch pedal when shifting from first to second and second to third after inadvertanly launching the car (at low RPMS) from 3rd gear instead of 1st. Dont ask. Dumb.
This vibration lasted for about 500 miles. I could feel it as the pedal came up and it is annoying but the car shifts and I dont detect any slippage.
When the car was in the dealer they of course said it felt normal. I did a few hard launches with the car and suddenly the vibration was gone for about 2000 miles. Now, last weekend, I did a few 0-60 runs (did not dump the clutch from hihg RPMS)and drove a little more agressively (nothing like one would do on the track) than normal and the vibration is back. Is it possible that I have a defect on the surface of the clutch or flywheel? For example, if I am using the clutch poorly can I be glazing the surface or maybe I caused a burnt spot? Other than a major issue which I realize will require a teardown to accurately diagnose is there something simple I can try or check? The strange thing is the way this comes and goes. I would have thought if I had a damaged clutch, flywheel, pressure plate or throwout bearing that would be it - it would be damaged and always create that vibration. Any thoughts on the subject would be appreciated. I hope I have properly described it.
