Adjusting pedal will only change engagement height. It's worth a try. Not sure how it's going to remove vibrations. I could be wrong.

Do you have any other mods, like transmission mount etc?

this is the kit I bought, it has the Exedy clutch, comes with an OEM master. No other mods.

I'm only thinking of adjusting pedal/master rod b/c JWT noted my previous kit with same vibration was overextending and stated that such problems can be caused by adjustment of the master cylinder/clutch pedal travel/free play

But that was a whole lot different set up.

Check under the car for broken exhaust hangers (the rubber).

Check loose exhaust points and leaks. ( exhaust did come off for transmission removal)

Check your Transmission mount points etc.

check your drive shaft mount bolts. etc.

This has become a $7k money pit. I am thinking I am done with this platform.

I adjusted the master cylinder rod found in the firewall that connects to the pedal. I lessened the length of it and guess WHAT

The intensity of the vibrations have dramatically decreased by 80%. They used to be present at 3k+ rpm shifts, now I can rev up to 3200-3300rpm without vibrations.

Problem is...they are still present!!!!!!!!!

We are onto something though. This has lessened the throw/travel I believe. How can i further decrease the throw and travel even more?
