My car has developed a vibration through the clutch pedal recently. When starting the car, then depressing the clutch to get from neutral into 1st you feel the clutch pedal vibrate slightly and gets more noticeable when at the biting point.

Also when changing from 1st and 2nd gear the car jerks about 60% of the time. This is unless I get it completely spot on. This is at relatively low speed and a medium speed clutch release. It feels like the clutch is grabbing, in terms of clutch slip Ive not noticed it.

When the car is in motion, the can also feel the vibration through the pedals when shifting between the gears. Do you think my problem is related to a release or thrusting bearing? The cars only done round about 25k.

My 940 turbo Volvo is petrol and has a DMF.

So dont assume because it's petrol it does not have a DMF, and you dont state what vehicle etc.

Problem could be many things, again you dont mention what vehicle, whether fwd, rwd, 4wd and other things that might be in the driveline that can create problems.

Release bearing issues may cause a feeling at the pedal, but unlikely to cause the jerking you refer to.

Honda Civic FN2, I believe only the Honda diesels come with DMF.
