Do muffler muffler delete axle back exhausts harm the engine?

That's what I have been reading that the transmission are loud and clunky. I am kind of concerned however that the past couple of days I have noticed a pulsation in the clutch pedal when sitting at idle with the clutch pedal pushed down. I had originally brough the car in for this pulsation and a bearing noise in which case they said the solution was to replace the transmission and the throw out bearing. I had asked them to check the clutch while the transmission was off and they told me that from what they could see without taking it apart, that it looked fine and not to mess with it. To take it apart completely would have cost 240 dollars apparently. So I am just concerned that the pulsation I am still experiencing is doing premature wear on something. Maybe I am just being paranoid. Has anyone else experienced clutch pedal pulsation? The clutch still grabs great with no slipping and the gears shift OK. I do notice when starting in 1st gear from a stop that sometimes the clutch feels a little chatty/shuttery.

Everything you have described is completely normal.

As I read through google and this forum I keep seeing how frequently people are saying how normal these issues I am experiancing are. I just dont see how a pulsation in the clutch pedal is normal, let alone a car this expensive with only 20k on it. Maybe I have just been spoiled with integra transmissions and mr2 transmissions. Or maybe I shouldnt assume that a car in this price range should be smooth as butter. Oh well, if you guys feel its nothing thats going to cause a failure, then I will take it as a normal quirk.

The BMW M3 has the clutch you and I want, for a lot more money. We have the 370 clutch with a normal clunk for much less. This was part of my cost equation.

I guess Ill just accept that its normal and wait for my clutch to take a crap. I got my AAM short tails and they sound so nice. I get turns and looks (good and bad) hahaha sounds the way it was meant to be made. Best exhaust sound I have had on any car. And Ive had about 36 cars.
