Default Question for JWT clutch/flywheel combo owners

I just got JWT combo installed last week.
One thing thats been bothering me is that when I cold start the car (i.e. going to work in the morning),
You depress the clutch, turn the ignition, and when you release the clutch
foe the first time, the pedal like wobbles/vibrates its way out.
It only does that once, or maybe one 2nd drpress, and then dissapears.
Does anyone else have that? Is it normal, and would it dissapear once the
clutch wears in?

Thanks in advance.

Hmmm....can't say I've experienced that. I've only had my set-up installed about a week, but nothing like you describe.

I have not experienced that before either. Not sure what that could be. Could be more to do with the fluid lines or pedal assembly. Does it occur when it is warm out or only when cold? Does the clutch feel normal once you start driving?

It only does it when I first turn on the engine.
After a few depresses, it's gone.
When driving everything feels normal.

I've had mine for over a year now, and never experienced that. Did you or the installer mess with the pedal by any chance and adjust its height or anything?

I told them to readjust the clutch when they install it because it was
out of allignment before. Maybe it's adjusted too low?

I have the same problem, only when it is cold. I also had the tranny replaced at the same time. I am also getting a rattle at around 4000 rpm coming from the gear shifter. I have a very early 03 with 43,000 mile.
