Came to notice earlier that when my clutch pedal is fully depressed (ONLY when fully depressed) there is a strange vibration almost as if I can feel the road texture in it, it gets much worse if I turn with it depressed. Haven't experienced this before and was wondering if it's something I should be concerned about?
 
What situations are you turning with the clutch depressed?

In a car park to see if it felt weird. I was taking a very slight turn while changing gear a little while after first noticing it and realized it was worse so pulled up to check.
 
this could be a long shot but sometimes i catch my foot on the steering kuckle when fully depressing the clutch! i suppose it would pick up vibrations from the wheels or "road texture" is how you described it.

Definitely not that one but thanks for the guess
Its definitely in the clutch pedal, it physically moves slightly and it only happens when fully depressed and when the car is moving.
I'm guessing this isn't normal then so I will have to have it looked at
 
back of the clutch peddle pressing against the floor or bulkhead?

That could transfer vibration differently to when it is only partialy depressed

Possibly... but would the vibration really be that intense? the clutch pedal actually feels as though its fighting my foot trying to push up quite fiercly.
I was backing down a small hill yesterday with my car in neutral. Depressed clutch pedal fully and rolled back at about 1mph and the fight the clutch pedal was giving was really intense which makes me think its something else since I was moving so slowly.

Probably worth getting it looked at then. If only to have it noted or now, if it develops further.

I have a bit of vibration but no pulsing or anything through the fully pressed peddle at idle, much the same as the steering wheel. Having solid engine mounts gives more idle vibration, so I imagine yours should be minimal/nill.


*badly fitted matts have given a few peddle related issues before now
 
I could be way off here I'm no mechanic but I've had something slightly simular before in my old 309 gti, turned out to be a ruined clutch bearing or summin :/

And Ill fitting mats are dangerous, if they are not rubbing on pedals they could curl up and pin one to the floor.
 
My pedal does vibrate, but as Neil says its minimal and that's with standard mounts.
 
If anybody happens to care then this vibration seems to have almost gone. It gets noticeably less each day so im assuming its down to something breaking in. Or something breaking... time will tell.
