Buzzing/vibration noise when clutch engaged I recently picked up a 95 TA with 70k on it and today it started buzzing or vibration when in gear and the clutch is out. When I push the clutch down it makes the noise for a second then stops. I haven't got a chance to look at it since it is at work so I have no idea what is going on. Maybe the clutch is worn out or the throw out bearing is fried?
FWIW a couple times I did have to pump the clutch twice to get it in gear. But it has only happened a couple times since I got it.

Yeah it'd be next to impossible to know without takin out the tranny and inspecting the clutch and what not. Lot's of things can cause vibration/shaking. Time to crack her open!

It is the throwout bearing. My brother had the exact same problem in his 93 z28 and it ended up being the throw out bearing. So I will be ordering a Spec stage 1, new master cylinder and a new slave cylinder next week. I need to find some place that will resurface my flywheel also.

I have some parts on order...tearing it apart Thursday night. Hopefully it is just in the clutch, pp or TO bearing.
Ordered a Ram HDX kit, new GM slave and master cylinder, skip shift eliminator, and short stick.
