Default Clutch Tapping

I have had my car for a few thousand miles (7k on the car). Once in a while when i fully depress the clutch I sometimes feel like a slight tapping on the pedal. Is this something that I should be concerned about?

thanks!

slight vibration in the pedal seems to be normal.

Sometimes my Z06 gives a bit of pulsation through the clutch as well, as did my F-body. My mustang did not. Maybe it's something that hydraulic systems do? Dunno.

Are you talking about when your like in the first gear and right when u press the clutch all the way u feel like the momentum shifting and like clunking noise? This apparently is normal... Kinda hard to believe so I took in the shop and my tech told 370z does this... lol...
